Description:
Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913 Domaine Louis Latour purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Léonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Château. This vineyard carries the name “Les Demoiselles” in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adèle and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without marrying.

Tasting Note :
Our Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru “Les Demoiselles” 2022 has a bright and pale gold colour. Its nose is intense, with smoky, mineral notes and floral hints. Full and fresh on the palate, it reveals aromas of vanilla, marzipan and sap. Very long finish.
Food Pairing :
Sea scallops – saffroned monkfish – lobster thermidor.
