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 vineyard is located between Lardoix-Serrigny and the beautiful Maranges hill. Limestone and marl soil. Traditional vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats on a 3 weeks period: Cold pre-fermentative maceration at around 8°C. Pigeages and pumping over to extract colour and structure. Fermentation with a peak temperature around 30°C. Post-fermentative maceration at 25°C. A part of the wine is aged in stainless steel vats and the other part in oak barrels between 8 to 10 months with malolactic fermentation.
