Situation géographique et terroir
Chassagne-Montrachet is a beautiful village located south of Beaune, in the extension of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The word Chassagne come from the latin “Cassanea”: oak wood.

Vinification
Immediately after harvesting, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, and then the juice is statically settled for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into barrels and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out.
