The Story

Château de Lachassagne used to belong to Marquis de Laguiche, from one of the oldest and most prestigious families in France, who understood the quality of its terroir made of clay and limestone from the Bajocian time. The terroir is very similar to the terroir from Côte de Beaune. Located in the southern part of the Bourgogne region, some 25 km north of Lyon, the vineyard has the best exposure possible, facing East and South East It has a clos of 62 hectares of which 21 hectares are planted with vines, mainly in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on a soil rich in clay-limestone. The Château also has a winery to visit with an imposing press from 1843 and vaulted cellars. The wines are developed with respect for the terroir and the traditions of the Bourgogne winegrowing region. Today, the property is owned by Olivier Bosse-Platière, who grew up in a winegrowing family nearby and was CEO of Maison Colin Seguin in Nuits Saint Georges before taking over Château de Lachassagne.
