Description
- The Premier Cru vineyard of Les Chenevottes sits slightly higher up the slope compared to the unparalleled white Grand Cru Montrachet. These two vineyards have much in common sharing similar soil composition, exposure to the sun, orientation and flavour. Les Chenevottes wines are an outstanding example of what this village is capable of and of the unrelentingly high standards of selection and vinification practiced by Maison Louis Latour. Les Chenevottes is derived from the word cheneve meaning hemp in old French and indicates that this vineyard was once an old hemp field.

Wine tasting
- Tasting NoteThis Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Chenevottes" 2019 wears a bright yellow hue with golden nuances. The nose reveals nice almond paste and Mirabelle plum notes. Round and ample on the mouth with almond, vanilla and yellow fruits aromas. Generous wine with great aromatic persistence.
