The Estate

The Jean-Charles Fagot estate is a family-run property based in Corpeau, in Burgundy, between the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Jean-Charles Fagot, who now runs the estate, is also the innkeeper of the Auberge du Vieux Vigneron in Corpeau, where he showcases his own cuvées. The estate farms its vineyard using lutte raisonnée (sustainable viticulture) and complements its production with a négoce activity, allowing it to offer an extensive range of Côte de Beaune appellations.

The Vineyard

This Puligny-Montrachet Village comes from vines located in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The estate tends its vines according to the principles of lutte raisonnée, limiting phytosanitary treatments to the strict minimum in order to preserve the natural balance of the limestone terroir characteristic of the appellation.

Winemaking and Ageing

The Puligny-Montrachet Village 2025 by Jean-Charles Fagot is made from hand-harvested grapes, then vinified using a traditional approach. Ageing takes place in oak foudres, giving this dry white wine structure while preserving the freshness and minerality inherent to the Puligny-Montrachet terroir.

Grape Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay, the king of grape varieties in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, which expresses itself here with precision on the limestone soils of the Côte de Beaune.
