Domaine du Cellier aux Moines : Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru "Les Chaumées" 2022

The depth and richness of a Burgundy Chardonnay

The estate

Founded in 1130 by the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of La Ferté in Givry, the Domaine du Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy. In 2004, it was taken over by Philippe and Catherine Pascal and their three children, all driven by the same objective: to bring the estate back to life. Listed as a Monument Historique, the Cellier aux Moines has been restored over the last ten years with passion and the greatest respect for tradition. This veritable jewel of Burgundy winegrowing now extends over more than 10 hectares, bringing together exceptional Premier Crus from Givry to Puligny-Montrachet.

The vineyard

Planted in 1989, the vines are grown at an altitude of around 300 metres on shallow, stony, sloping soil. The vineyard has been biodynamic since 2017.
