History

Situated in the heart of the Bourgogne Golden Triangle (Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault), Chartron et Trébuchet is now recognised for the very high quality of its white wines, which include five Grand Crus, and is held in high regard by connoisseurs as the creator of the greatest Puligny-Montrachets, symbolic of the company.

Chassagne-Montrachet

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Origin

South of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyards surround the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Along with Puligny-Montrachet it shares the undisputed prince of all dry white wines: Grand Cru Montrachet (pronounced Mon-rachet).

Soil

The vineyards lie on an excellent limestone and stony soil.

Vinification

Traditional vinification: The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. Settling, cold storing for 48h. Fermentation in
barrels at low temperature, 16/20° to preserve aromas. Ageing continues in barrels on total lies between 8 to 16 months with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity. 30% of new barrels.
