Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913 Domaine Louis LATOUR purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Léonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Château. This vineyard carries the name "Les Demoiselles" in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adèle and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without marrying.
“Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru « Les Demoiselles » 2016 has an attractive golden colour. This wine reveals an intense nose combining fruity aromas of yellow peach and woody nuances of roasted almonds. The mouth is long and reveals notes of coffee and almond while offering a lot of freshness”
