The property

The Jean Chartron House, founded in 1859, is located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, in Puligny-Montrachet. Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure Chartron, representing the fifth generation, perpetuate the excellence of this emblematic house. The estate is recognised for its environmentally friendly viticultural practices and its commitment to traditional winemaking, revealing the purity of the terroirs of Burgundy.

The vineyard

The "Clos des Chevaliers" is a Chevalier-Montrachet wine made from a symbolic monopoly of the property, testifying to the history and viticultural heritage of the Chartron family, who have managed it for five generations.

Vinification and ageing

Vinification was carried out entirely in oak barrels, 40% of which were new and 60% of which had been used one to three times. The ageing lasted 14 months on fine lees, followed by a period of 4 months in stainless steel tanks to refine the wine's profile.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
