AHHHHH, BURGUNDY. A LITTLE GEOGRAPHY.

C

hevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles is located to the south

of the Côte de Beaune, at the summit of the slope where the

world-renowned villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-

Montrachet converge, but on the Puligny commune, just above

Le Montrachet. It’s

un acre petit

, measuring in at only 1.28 acre,

but we are in Burgundy after all. The chalky subsoil here drains

perfectly, producing some of the loveliest Chardonnay grapes

anywhere.

Lovers of white burgundy, this is your time to bid.

This Grand

Cru wine is aged 15-18 months in oak barrels before bottling.

Former Honored Guest Pierre Henry Gagey says that this

vinification highlights the unique qualities inherent in the fruit

of this great vineyard. Its bright, golden colour and penetrating

fragrance of toast and honey predict the rich, mellow fruit flavors,

velvety elegance and intense finish of this exceptional wine, which

overflows with grace and elegance.
