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 comes from the Latin “Cassanea”: oak wood, and Blanchot simply refers to the white color caused by the presence of limestone pebbles on the slope. The commune is world-famous for the quality of its white wines. It was called Chassagne-le-Haut until 1879, when the name was changed to refer to the most famous white wine in the world: Montrachet. The location of the Chassagne-Montrachet parcel “Blanchot Dessous” is to be dreamt of, situated at a crossroads of illustrious climates.

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
