Chassagne-Montrachet is an
appellation consisting of 350 ha (865 acres) of clayish limestone located south of
Côte de Beaune. Most wine produced in the village is white wine from the
Chardonnay grape, although red wine is also made from the
Pinot noir grape. The village shares two Grand Cru vineyards -
Montrachet and
Bâtard-Montrachet - with the neighbouring village of
Puligny-Montrachet, and also includes the entirety of a third,
Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, within its boundaries. These three vineyards produce some of the most expensive and
long-lived white wines in the world. ==See also==
