Chevalier-Montrachet is a Grand Cru climat on the hill of Montrachet in Burgundy, France, sitting just above Le Montrachet itself on the slope of Puligny. WineFortune tracks one wine from this sub-region: Domaine Leflaive, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, from one producer, with one wine indexed and one listed in the shop.

The wine is a still white made from Chardonnay, the sole grape of the vineyard. The thin, stony limestone soils high on the slope give a wine of tension and precision, typically tighter and more mineral in youth than its neighbours lower down. It carries AOP designation at Grand Cru level, the highest tier of the Burgundian classification.

On the WineFortune index, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days, the median stands at €2310 per 75 cl bottle. The WineFortune Premium Selection holds one vintage from this sub-region.
