Domaine Jean CHARTRON
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand cru dry white

In 2004, Jean-Michel Chartron gave a new impetus to the family estate, with the chance to have an extraordinary land heritage (the Clos des Chevaliers is the best part of the Chevalier-Montrachet, itself considered the best grand cru in Puligny after Montrachet). Mineral, nervous, powerful and long, its wines are among the greatest in Puligny. Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Appointment : Jean-Michel Chartron was doubly elected "Winegrower of the Year": in the magazine "Bourgogne Aujourd'hui" in March 2018 and in the Hachette guide in September 2018.

The 2022 vintage is rated 90-92/100 by N. Martin "The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 has a straightforward bouquet of white peach, citrus peel and light almond scents, although it doesn't quite have the minerality of the best vintages I've tasted at Chartron. The palate is well balanced, with a fairly creamy entry, tinged with almond and chai. A little oaky at the moment (about a third), but this will be assimilated with age." (November 2023)
