The “Montrachet” is surrounded by other very famous parcels: “Chevalier-Montrachet”, “Bâtard-Montrachet” and “Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet”. The 7,89 hectares of the appellation “Montrachet” are providing 46 000 bottles per year. Rich and complex aromas, such as hazelnuts and honey, and a very long final in mouth are the main features of the appellation. The wines have a preserving capacity of 8 to 20 years.

The Romanée-Conti, Ramonet and Drouhin are the most-known owners of the appellation.
