About This Wine:
Jean-René Chartron founded the Maison Chartron et Trébuchet in 1984 with Louis Trébuchet, manager of a wine trading company. Chartron himself comes from a family that has owned Premiers and Grands Crus vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet since 1859. Vincent Sauvestre, a fourth generation winegrower of some 240 prestigious hectares of vines, acquired the company in 2004.
Lemon yellow, clear and bright, with light green reflections. An already very flattering nose with notes of toast, orange and jasmine. A rich and generous palate with great aromatic precision and a beautiful acidity in the finish... All the characteristics of a great Meursault are gathered here!

Ratings & Reviews
90 Points - Wine & Spritits (2013 Vintage):
"A classic Meursault in its lush, rounded texture, floral green pear scents and voluptuous nut meat flavors, this tightens up as firm acidity adds to the leesy grip. It’s ready to decant for roast fish." - (April 2017)
