In the very south of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet is one of
the triumvirate in the 'golden triangle' of white Burgundy (with
Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault). The broad hillside that it shares
with Puligny brings out an extraordinary expression of both Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay. In Chassagne, they are grown side by side, such is the
complexity of the terroir. The zone includes some plots in the neighboring
village of Remigny which shares the same soil conditions. Extensive marble
quarries which form a cliff face in the vineyards, are the source of the
stone that went into the building of the Trocadero in Paris and more recently
the Louvre Pyramid.
