About this Wine

Château de Chassagne-Montrachet dates back to the late Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it belonged to the last Lord of Chassagne, Sieur Clermont Montoison.

In 1919, Charles Mimeur acquired the historic vineyards, and the family continues to manage the estate until today. Today, the winery is run by Nathalie Bernard and Sébastien Fossier, who continue to evolve the estate in a family spirit, focusing on quality excellence both in the vineyards & in the cellar, with a strong ecological awareness

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. Vines from Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. Clay-limestone soil

Taste Profile: Ruby red color with brilliant highlights. Attractive nose of Burlat cherries, with hints of white pepper and graphite. A structured, fruity attack on the palate, with great freshness. A well-balanced wine, still in its youth, to be drunk with roast meats

Winemaking Process: Harvested by hand only, in openwork crates of 15 KG. The bunches are cooled and 100% destemmed before vatting in wooden vats for 2 weeks.

Wines from Burgundy

A legendary wine region setting the benchmark for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay worldwide. In the Jurassic time period, the area was part of a vast, tropical sea. Over hundreds of millions of years, the seabed transformed into various layers of limestone, sandstone and clay soils that have entrapped the fossils of ancient sea creatures. These soils are the secret behind the zesty minerality that Burgundy wines are famous for.

Burgundy is probably the most terroir-centric wine region in France. Huge emphasis is placed on the specific vineyard, soil type, elevation, and angle of slope where the wines were made. This is reflected on the wine's labels where appellations are more prominently displayed compared to the producers’ names.

The most prestigious wines of the region come from a long and narrow escarpment called the Côte d'Or split into the Côte de Nuits to the north and the Côte de Beaune to the south. Côte de Nuits produces many of the world’s finest Pinot Noir’s, all but one of Burgundy’s red Grand Crus are made in this area. Whilst interestingly, the opposite is true for the Côte de Beaune where all but one of the Chardonnay Grand Crus are made. From this information it may seem you should be buying a Pinot from the North and Chardonnay from the south, that is only true for the pinnacle of Burgundian wines. Both outstanding reds and whites are produced throughout the Côte d'Or.

In Burgundy, they use a wine quality tier system that goes:
Grand Crus 1.4% of total production
Premier (1er) Crus 10.2% of total production
Appellations Villages 37.3% of total production
Appellations Regionales 51.1% of total production

When one refers to “Burgundy wines” they are usually talking about those produced in and around the Côte d'Or. While the Chardonnay’s from Chablis and the Gamay’s from Beaujolais are formally apart of the Burgundy wine region, those subregions are generally referred to by their own names rather than being considered “Burgundy wines”.
