AN ESTATE ON A HUMAN SCALE
8 HECTARES SPREAD OVER CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET AND SAINT-AUBIN 1ER CRU.

THE HEART OF THE ESTATE

Château de Chassagne-Montrachet dates back to the late Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it belonged to the last Lord of Chassagne, Sieur Clermont Montoison.

In 1919, Charles MIMEUR took the unique opportunity to acquire most of the vineyards of the Château de Chassagne-Montrachet estate, as well as part of the buildings.

Today, the family owns and manages 98% of the vines of Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet, which form the heart of the Bader-Mimeur estate. These vines represent 5 hectares planted around the winery on a clay-limestone terroir.

This large single plot, which is very rare in the Côte de Beaune, is the pride of the estate. Our Domaine du Château vines are planted with 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, some of which are up to 80 years old.

Château de Chassagne-Montrachet dates back to the late Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it belonged to the last Lord of Chassagne, Sieur Clermont Montoison.

During the French Revolution, the Château and its estate were seized and sold off separately. Since then, the Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet has belonged to several owners.

During the 19th century, the original Château underwent major architectural changes. The damaged south wing was demolished and a large extension was built to the north. A large building was also erected to the west, commonly known as "La Cuverie du Château".

In 1919, Charles MIMEUR took the unique opportunity to acquire most of the vineyards of Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet, as well as some of the buildings, in particular the famous "Cuverie du Château", and the original buildings to the east.

And so began the history of Maison BADER-MIMEUR in Chassagne-Montrachet.

Today, the family owns and manages 98% of the vines of Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet, which form the heart of the Bader-Mimeur estate. These vines represent 5 hectares planted around the winery on a clay-limestone terroir. This large single plot, which is very rare in the Côte de Beaune, is the pride of the estate.

OUR OTHER PLOTS

Since its creation in 1919, the estate has gradually expanded, growing from 5 to 8 hectares thanks to the acquisition of the following plots, among others:

  • Chassagne-Montrachet « En Journoblot » - 0.44 Ha
  • Chassagne-Montrachet « Les Houillères » - 0.36Ha
  • Saint-Aubin 1er cru « En Remilly » - 0.45Ha
  • Bourgogne « Dessous les Mues » - 1.00 Ha
  • Bourgogne « Les Pierres » - 0.26 Ha

All these plots, located less than a kilometer from our winery, are therefore monitored extremely regularly.

OUR TRADE SELECTION

Although trading was once a large part of Bader-Mimeur's business, it now accounts for less than 10%, and is based on a selective range of the most prestigious Côte de Beaune appellations:

  • Meursault « Le Limozin »
  • Meursault-Charmes
  • Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru « Morgeot »
  • Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru « Champ Gain »

Produced by a loyal partnership that shares our values in the vineyard, the musts are matured by us in our own cellars.
