The Elegance and Minerality of a White Wine from Savigny-Les-Beaune

The Estate
Founded in 1859 by Jean-Édouard Dupard, a master cooper, Domaine Jean Chartron is a historic figure in Burgundy, located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. Today, the estate is run by the fifth generation, represented by Jean-Michel Chartron, who was recently made a Chevalier du Mérite Agricole. The estate tends a vineyard of approximately 14.5 hectares spread across the prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. Renowned for its expertise in producing white wines and its commitment to sustainable farming practices, the estate strives to express the full individuality of its plots.

The Vineyard
The Savigny-Les-Beaune appellation is located in the Côte de Beaune, north of the eponymous town, and stands out for the rarity of its white wines, which account for only a tiny fraction of local production. The vines flourish at altitudes ranging from 220 to 360 metres. The terroir is characterised by great geological diversity, combining low-fertility chalky soils, gravel, stones, as well as limestone and clay soils. The presence of the Rhoin river also influences this vineyard, providing favourable conditions for producing fruity, supple wines.

The Vintage
The year 2024 was marked by unpredictable weather in Burgundy, resulting in a significant drop in yields. However, a particularly sunny September allowed the surviving grapes to reach optimal phenolic ripeness, ensuring a fine balance between sugar, acidity and aromatic development.

Winemaking and Aging
The making of this Savigny-Les-Beaune Village 2024 begins with direct pressing of the grapes, followed by settling in tank. Fermentation is then completed in wooden vessels. True to Burgundian tradition, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for eleven to eighteen months, lending the cuvée a subtle complexity.

Grape Variety
100% Chardonnay.
