Why it matters
The producer
Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune is the starting point for Chartron et Trébuchet. Jean-René Chartron and Louis Trébuchet founded the house there in 1984.
It operates as a négociant, working with purchased grapes and fruit before vinification and bottling. Bourgogne wines sit alongside Côte de Beaune appellation wines, giving the range both a regional category and narrower village addresses.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The name Puligny-Montrachet marks the founding village, while Meursault is the current operational base. Both belong to the Côte de Beaune, so the producer's geography sits within one Burgundy subregion even as its label vocabulary moves between Bourgogne and village appellations.
Bourgogne is the broad regional category. A Côte de Beaune village name narrows the address, and Premier Cru adds a recognised vineyard rank within that village appellation.
Wines to know
The range in view
At regional level, Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2024 is a red wine and Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024 is a white wine. Their labels use the Bourgogne regional designation and name the grape.
The Côte de Beaune pair narrows the place. Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Rouvrettes 2022 is a red wine from the Côte de Beaune, while Meursault Chartron et Trébuchet 2023 is a white wine from the Côte de Beaune. Premier Cru places the Savigny bottling within a named vineyard level, while Meursault puts the village name directly on the white wine label.
