Productinformation
A relatively unknown estate about which little has been written. Domaine La Truffière par Robert Comte is currently run by Robert Comte with the assistance of Laeticia Falci. For him, it is all about the terroir and the winemaker must do everything possible to make the grape perform optimally. Once in the cellars, the wines are classically raised and some are kept for longer periods.
Chevalier-Montrachet owes its terroir to its high hillside location. The limestone soil is much thinner than that of lower Montrachet and contains more marl. The grapes are intense and concentrated, making for balanced, high-quality wines that can age for many years. Chevalier-Montrachet is often considered the producer of some of the best grand cru white wines in Burgundy, after Montrachet itself.
