Chassagne produces both white and red wine. Its whites are far more impressive expositions of Chardonnay than its reds are of Pinot Noir. The Chassagne white style is full and rich, yet firmer than neighboring Meursault and less citrus fruit and mineral accented than Puligny. This rule of thumb will have many exceptions. Chassagne-Montrachet is a big commune producing as much Village wine as it does Premier Cru wine; though the former is predominantly red while the latter is mainly white. Chassagne shares the Grand Cru vineyard of Le Montrachet with Puligny and is host to two other Grand Cru vineyards. (Wine/Appellations)
