While much of the soil within Chassagne-Montrachet is better suited to red wine production, the best wines from the commune are whites planted on suitable hillside plots. Indeed, Chassagne-Montrachet is home to three Grand Cru vineyards including a share of the grandest of all, Montrachet.

Other Reviews....
There is a bit of unabsorbed post-bottling sulfur pushing the underlying fruit to the background though it feels as though it won't last. There is fine volume and very solid mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that possess good power and depth on the citrus-inflected, persistent and balanced finale. This possesses fine quality for a villages level Chassagne and is worth your interest.
