Before the phylloxera (1871), the Chassagne-Montrachet vineyard only produced red wines, with the exception of a few acres and the famous Montrachet, which is classified separately. Currently, around half of the vineyard is planted with Chardonnay and produces great white wines. On tasting, the white Chassagne-Montrachet presents a light golden color with a rather intense nose of flowers, hot croissant or brioche and candied lemon, evolving with aging towards nuances of toasted hazelnuts and spices. The flavor is frank, combining freshness and character, sap and finesse. The long persistence leaves the palate with floral and gingerbread notes.
