"Chassagne-Montrachet, village in the Côte de Beaune district of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or more famed for its white wines from the Chardonnay grape than for its equally plentiful red wines from Pinot Noir. Until the mid 1980s, the village produced more red wine than white, but the significant premium for white Chassagne led to considerable planting of Chardonnay, even on relatively unsuitable soils." - Oxford Companion to Wine
"Puligny-Montrachet, village in the Côte de Beaune district of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or producing very fine wines from chardonnay and a tiny amount of less exalted red. Puligny added the name of its most famous vineyard, the grand cru Le Montrachet, in 1879 and has benefited from the association ever since." - Oxford Companion to Wine
