The Le Montrachet appellation is considered the pinnacle of Burgundy’s white grands crus, straddling Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. With only 8 hectares, this rare terroir is exclusively planted with Chardonnay, offering wines of unmatched complexity and depth. The well-drained marl-limestone soils contribute to the richness and balance of the wines. Le Montrachet is renowned for its intense aromas of white flowers, honey, butter, ripe fruits, and sometimes truffle, with a broad and silky texture. On the palate, these wines combine majestic power, mineral depth, and exceptional length, giving them an aging potential that can exceed several decades. Over time, they develop notes of hazelnut, toasted bread, and candied fruits. Their rarity and prestige make them highly sought after by collectors and lovers of great white wines. Le Montrachet pairs perfectly with gastronomic dishes such as lobster, langoustine, or turbot with hollandaise sauce. It embodies the refinement and excellence of Burgundy’s grands crus.
