The climat "Passetemps" is composed by two plots on a hillside located just below the "Clos des Mouches". and not far from the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The vines are exposed south-east and benefit from a predominantly clay soil. The name "Passetemps" probably comes from the fact that it was nice to spend time working on these plots.
