Chassagne-Montrachet is a French appellation for white and red wines which is located in Côte de Beaune (Côte-d’Or) region of Burgundy. The region is best known for its exceptional white wine that is produced from Chardonnay grapes.
These powerful and opulent wines tend to display complex and harmonious aromas of white flowers, acacia, honeysuckle, and hazelnuts. Buttery aromas of honey, pear, and toast are also occasionally present, as well as the typical mineral character (flint).
These rounded and full-bodied wines are best matched with white meat such as poultry or veal served in creamy sauces. They can also work well with fish and crustaceans, foie gras, and cheese.
