This is a Burgundy list at its core, 864 bottles weighted heavily toward white, with 360 whites against 121 reds, exactly what you would expect sitting in Chassagne Montrachet. The depth is in local growers worked deeply rather than spread thin, with Domaine Fernand et Laurent Pillot, Domaine Fontaine Gagnard, and Domaine Larue each carrying twenty or more listings, and strong showings from nearby Saint Aubin, Santenay, and Rully via Domaine Joseph Colin and Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson. Champagne backs it up with 29 references plus a dozen magnums, so the sparkling side is real, not an afterthought. We pour 24 by the glass and there is genuine value at the entry, with bottles starting around 12 euro, so you can steer a curious guest without forcing them deep. This list rewards anyone who wants to taste Chassagne and its neighbors through the hands of the people who actually farm it.
