Located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation mainly produces white wines renowned for their exceptional aromatic expression and length on the palate. Notes of herbal tea, flowers, and spices on the nose lead to a full-bodied and mature palate, ideally supported by a beautiful freshness and acidity. An incredible harmony.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker who settled here in 2011, is at the helm of this 13-hectare estate stretching from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and the Royat cordon are the norm here, as are massal selections developed from the estate's oldest vines. The range is characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruitiness. The reds, which account for the vast majority of production, are vinified after destemming in concrete vats and have silky tannins, while the whites, without bâtonnage, offer roundness and juicy, honeyed orchard fruit aromas.
