Planted in 1989 with selected clones from the Domaine's older vines, this cuvée performs very evenly from one vintage to the next. The grapes tend to ripen early and have to be watched carefully to ensure that they are among the first to be harvested.

- The wines from this plot are rich and ripe, mineral, and long in the mouth. They can be long-lived, thanks to the capacity of the terroir to preserve the acidity in the grapes.
- The predominantly limestone soil enjoys excellent exposure overlooking the village of Chassagne-Montrachet.
- The village appellation 'Chassagne-Montrachet' comes from a single parcel of vines lying at the extreme northern end of the village in the named plot "Les Houillères" and bordering the Puligny-Montrachet appellation.
- Can be enjoyed now or can age for up to 5 years.
- Pairs delightfully alongside seared scallops, butter chicken or a semi-soft cheese such as a Gruyère or Emmental.
