Best wine supplier in Philippines discusses wine related topics
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village in the Cote de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy, with its own communal appellation, created in 1937.
The Chassagne-Montrachet appellation covers both red wines, made from Pinot Noir and white wines made from Chardonnay, and produces roughly equal quantities of each. The particularly high quality of the whites is responsible for the commune’s good reputation, and led to a marked increase in white wine production during the latter years of the twentieth century.
Chassagne-Montrachet is home to the most southerly of Burgundy’s Grand Cru vineyard sites, Criots-Batard-Montrachet, and also to the southern half of both Le Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyards. It also boasts a large number of Premier Cru vineyards, which flow unbroken across the entire span of the commune, from its southern border with Santenay to its northern border with Puligny-Montrachet.
The soils around Chassagne-Montrachet are characteristically Burgundian, with a high content of limestone, particularly on the slopes of the Cote d’Or, (the 45km / 27 mile limestone escarpment running from Dijon to Santenay). There is a distinct difference, however, between the vineyard sites to the south of Chassagne-Montrachet village and those to the north. To the south is found a higher concentration of limestone marl and red gravel – soils to which Pinot Noir is better suited. To the north the harder marlstone gives way to softer, finer limestone structures, and it is here where some of the world’s most respected Chardonnay is made.
The climate around Chassagne-Montrachet is of continental type, with warm, dry summers and cool extended winters. While spring arrives earlier here than in Burgundy’s northern outposts like Chablis, the commune’s viticulturalists must still contend with cold spring mornings and the risk of frost damage to their vines.
