Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a white wine produced on the separated plot of the town of Puligny-Montrachet. The origin of the name goes back to the Middle Ages when the Lord of Puligny handed down this plot to his eldest son, the" Chevalier", or “Knight”. The vineyard, which is just over seven hectares, is located above Mount Rachet on a sloping and very limestone soil which is subject to erosion. The wines are very fine and perfectly balanced. Slightly lighter than the Montrachet, they are more mineral. Richer and bolder than the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, the Chevalier-Montrachet is more popular than its counterparts.

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Les Demoiselles Maison Louis Jadot serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Langoustines, Noix de Saint-Jacques aux champignons, Volaille à la crème.
