Chassagne-Montrachet is located to the south of Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune and is one of Burgundy's greatest white wine appellations. 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 Côte d'Or, the village was allowed to change its name replacing le-Haut with the name of their most famous Grand Cru Montrachet. | |
