At the south of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet alongside Puligny the undisputed prince of every dry white wine created: the divine Montrachet. This large and beautiful hillside elevates the two Burgundy grape varieties to greatness. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay flourish side by side here as a result of the complexity of the soil. Substantial quarries of marble stone form a rocky front: in Paris the Trocadéro, and more recently the Louvre Pyramid, solicit this pink or beige slabbed stone. Between an altitude of 220 and 325 metres, from the summit the land successively comprises: steep rauracians, a Callovian embankment with reflections of Argovian marl and Bathonian limestone. According to Climats (localities to unique qualities), it involves chalky and stony, marly or sandier soil.
