The Chartron et Trébuchet estate in Burgundy was established in 1859 when Léonce Bocquet decided to promote the region’s exceptional terroir and grape varieties. Nestling in the iconic commune of Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyard is currently managed by the Helfrich family. More than 270 hectares of vines, spanning the region’s finest appellations and spread across 13 vineyards, constitute the wealth and diversity of the estate. The estate strives to reconcile traditional values and expertise with a modern approach to producing exceptional vintages in a more sustainable approach. All the vineyards hold the High Environmental Value label. They cultivate their vines with the utmost respect for the land and biodiversity. Each bottle produced by the estate reflects the essence and flavours of Burgundy.

Bâtard-Montrachet is one of the most prestigious Grands Crus of the Côte de Beaune, lying across Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The vines grow on clay-limestone soils with south-east exposure, allowing the grapes to reach peak ripeness. This geological setting gives the wine pronounced minerality, broad structure and remarkable ageing potential. Manual harvests are followed by careful sorting. In the winery, 40% of the grapes ferment in new oak casks and 60% in seasoned ones. The cuvée is then aged on fine lees for 14 months, followed by a further 4 months in stainless steel to refine the wine.
In the glass, the wine reveals a striking pale gold hue. The complex, refined bouquet reveals white-fleshed fruit, white flowers, hazelnut and a mineral touch. The rich, ample palate carried by lively acidity, fresh butter and brioche notes, culminate in a long, persistent finish.
