Montrachet, Grand Cru vineyard in Côte de Beaune, France
Montrachet vineyard spans 8 hectares across limestone-rich soil between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet communes, producing exceptional white wines from Chardonnay grapes.
The first documented mention of Mont Rachaz appears in 1252 when local monks received wine as a gift, leading to its recognition as an AOC Grand Cru in 1937.
The vineyard follows strict production regulations, requiring 9000 vines per hectare and specific sugar content levels to maintain its Grand Cru classification standards.
Montrachet wines require proper storage at temperatures between 12 to 14 degrees Celsius and can develop their characteristics for up to fifteen years.
The vineyard's southeast orientation and distinctive soil composition of thin topsoil over limestone with reddish marl create wines that command some of the highest prices globally.
