About Domaine Jean Chartron
Jean-Michel Chartron is the fifth generation winemaker of Domaine Jean Chartron, which has origins dating back to 1873. Their influence on Puligny’s heritage was cemented when the Domaine successfully petitioned to add the name of the most famous local vineyard ‘Montrachet’ to that of the village; thus Puligny Montrachet came into being.
Originally the Domaine sold most of its wines to negociants until 1989. Since the 90s they have expanded into St. Aubin and Chassagne to their present holdings of 13 hectares, including three outstanding monopoles: Chevalier Montrachet “Clos du Chevaliers,” Clos du Cailleret and Clos de la Pucelle, all in the family since 1917. Jean-Michel is expertly crafting some of the finest wines in Puligny-Montrachet; generous yet always sophisticated in style.

Vinous (95)The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevalier Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet that needs more coaxing than its peers; a lovely crustacean scent emerges with time, allied with a hint of star anise. The edgy palate is taut, precise and well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and quite a persistent finish. Overall, it is just missing a little profundity, yet it meliorates in the glass, gaining harmony and precision. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Wine Advocate (89-91)The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village reveals pretty aromas of white peach, spring flowers and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample palate that's the most pure and elegant of Chartron's communal appellations this year. It will be well worth seeking out. |
