At the summit of the slope where the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet converge is a cluster of vineyards comprised of five of the six greatest white wine microclimates of Burgundy. They all share the name of the greatest among them, Le Montrachet, which like Bâtard-Montrachet, lies partly in Puligny and partly in Chassagne. Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet lie within Puligny; Criots-Bâtard Montrachet lies within Chassagne. The collective surface area of these grands crus totals only 80 acres.

The vineyard of Chevalier-Montrachet is situated immediately above the portion of Le Montrachet lying in Puligny, and directly borders Chassagne. It covers 18.2 acres, and, in contrast to the adjacent grands crus, over 75 percent of Chevalier-Montrachet is held by four proprietors, among them Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot, which owns half of the grand cru parcel of Les Demoiselles, situated wholly within Chevalier- Montrachet and vinified under Jadot's estate label. Chevalier-Montrachet's average annual production of 23,000 bottles, representing a yield only slightly over half the legal maximum, make this wine even more of a rarity than Le Montrachet itself, which Chevalier rivals in quality and price.
