Located in the heart of the Burgundian Golden Triangle (Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault), Chartron et Trébuchet is today recognised for the very high quality of its white wines, including 5 Grands Crus, and is remembered by connoisseurs as the creator of the greatest Puligny-Montrachet wines, symbols of the House.

Winemaking

The appellation lies to the north of the Côte de Beaune, between the villages of Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, on the heights of the mythical Montagne de Corton. The soil is gently sloping, reddish and stony, brown limestone, rich in marl with a high potassium content. Traditional vinification: Direct pressing on receipt of the grapes in a pneumatic press, settling and cold storage for 48 hours. Fermentation in barrels at a low temperature of 16/20° to preserve the aromas. Aged on lees in barrels for 8 to 16 months with regular stirring of the lees. 70 to 80% new barrels.

Tasting notes
