Chassagne-Montrachet is located south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Cte de Beaune and is one of Burgundy’s greatest white wine appellations. It produces all appellations from the village to Grand Cru. The word Chassagne comes from either the Latin ‘cassanea, which means an oak wood, or ‘cassanus, which means oak. Until the late 19th century, the main settlement of this commune was known as Chassagne-le-Haut. However, in 1879, in common with other villages in the Cte d’Or, the village was allowed to change its name, replacing le Haut with the name of their most famous Grand Cru Montrachet. The village appellation covers just over half of Chassagne-Montrachet.
