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
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
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.
A Bottle To Understand It
Meursault Chartron et Trébuchet 2023 is the first bottle. It is a white Côte de Beaune wine with Meursault as its appellation name, so the label presents a village address rather than the broader Bourgogne category. Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024 provides the regional comparison, while Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Rouvrettes 2022 shows how the same subregion can carry a red wine and a Premier Cru designation.
Final Word
Chartron et Trébuchet connects a Puligny-Montrachet foundation to a Meursault base through a négociant range of purchased grapes and fruit, Bourgogne labels, and named Côte de Beaune wines.
