Chassagne-Montrachet Wines
While both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are produced within the Chassagne-Montrachet Wine Region, it’s the white wines that are considered some of the best in the world according to our Chassagne-Montrachet Wine Reviews. Located in the Côte de Beaune, the southern area of the Côte d’Or, the unique balance of terroir, proper natural drainage, climate and low yields can lead to astoundingly intense and complex wines. With 55 premier crus and 3 grand crus, the wines from this region are consistently some of the highest rated in our Chassagne-Montrachet Wine Ratings. One of the most famous grand cru sites is Le Montrachet, which produces wines from 100% Chardonnay and is shared with the neighboring village of Puligny-Montrachet. These wines have an elegant harmony of intense fruit, minerality, smoke and delicate, toasty flavors imparted by oak barrel fermentation and aging. Our Chassagne-Montrachet Wine Guide illustrates some of the top wines as well as the best values throughout the region.

Domaine Marc Morey 2007 Les Caillerets Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $102
The nose powers with wood and high toast aromas, but the palate reveals sufficient ripe pineapple and yellow fruit flavors to act as a balance. There is a prominent acidity that cuts through this richness. The wine certainly needs 3–4 years for the wood to soften and integrate better with the fruit, but then this will be a superb wine. Imported by Robert Kacher Imports.

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Clos Saint Marc Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
- $75
An intense, mineral-driven wine, tasting of the limestone soil as well as very ripe fruit. Great acidity keeps the richness in line, toast offering sweetness. The wine is full-bodied, the flavors going right through to the apple-skin-textured core.
