The wine region of Montrachet Grand Cru
Mythical 7. 99-ha Grand Cru straddling Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune, 100% Chardonnay: universally considered the greatest dry white wine in the world. Bright gold, nose of unparalleled complexity — white flowers, honey, hazelnut butter, roasted almond, candied citrus, ripe exotic fruits, toast and deep mineral notes. Dense, ample and opulent palate with preserved acidity and endless finish.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Cellar master
The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
