Description
The Grand Cru vineyard of Bâtard-Montrachet graces the landscape nestled between the charming villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, renowned as the birthplace of the world's most exquisite white wines. A mere country lane, barely a whisper of separation, divides this 11.86-hectare vineyard from the legendary Montrachet, the epitome of Chardonnay excellence. Its gentle, eastward-facing slope embraces a deep, fertile, gravelly soil with a limestone foundation, a global treasure for cultivating exceptional Chardonnay grapes of unparalleled quality.
