Montrachet is an Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for white wine made of Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy.
It straddles the border between the two communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet and produces what many consider to be the greatest dry white wine in the world.
It is surrounded by four other Grand Cru vineyards all having “Montrachet” as part of their names.
Montrachet itself is generally considered superior to its four Grand Cru neighbours, and this is reflected in its higher price.
