The estate

Founded in 1859 by Jean-Édouard Dupard, the Jean Chartron estate is a historic institution located in the heart of Burgundy, in Puligny-Montrachet. Spanning a 14.50-hectare vineyard, the estate is now run by the fifth generation, embodied by Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure Chartron. Combining deep respect for family heritage with a modern, environmentally conscious vision, the estate distinguishes itself through its constant pursuit of qualitative improvement and its meticulous plot-by-plot approach, showcasing exceptional terroirs.

The vineyard

This Burgundy wine comes from plots located at an altitude of 353 metres, benefiting from a microclimate sheltered from northern winds. The vines thrive on rich and complex soils, composed of limestone, clay and siliceous sands, offering excellent drainage and giving the wine a lovely mineral tension. The estate favours environmentally friendly viticulture, with no chemical herbicides, entirely manual harvesting followed by rigorous sorting.

The vintage

The year 2024 proved challenging due to difficult weather conditions and high summer temperatures. However, the altitude of the plots and their excellent exposure helped preserve a beautiful freshness and protect the growing cycle, leading the grapes to optimal phenolic ripeness despite the climatic challenges.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking of the Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Cuvée Eugénie Dupard" 2024 begins with alcoholic fermentation in wooden vats, encouraging gentle micro-oxygenation.
