Situation géographique et terroir
Chassagne-Montrachet is a beautiful village located south of Beaune, in the extension of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. It was called Chassagne-le-Haut until 1879, when the name was changed to the world's most famous white wine: Montrachet. The parcel of the "Morgeot" climate has an ideal south-east exposure and is planted with two grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Originally, the name of this parcel was Morga, which comes from the Latin "Margo" meaning "edge, border". Indeed, it is located on the departmental border between the Saône-et-Loire and the Côte d'Or, an ancient Gallo-Roman demarcation.
Vinification
Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, then we carry out a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into barrels and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out.
Lightly toasted so-called blonde, 30% new barrels
