Domaine Jean CHARTRON
Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers Grand cru dry white Monopole
- 2022
- Chevlaier-Montrachet Grand cru
In 2004, Jean-Michel Chartron gave new impetus to the family domaine, blessed with an extraordinary land heritage (Clos des Chevaliers is the best part of Chevalier-Montrachet, itself considered the best climat in Puligny after Montrachet). The estate's 14.5 hectares have been farmed organically (without certification) ever since.
Mineral, nervous, powerful and long, with a crystalline purity, its wines are among Puligny's finest.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 93-95/100 “The 2022 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers Grand Cru has a taut and precise bouquet: much more mineralité than the Bâtard-Monrachet, quite tensile with a hint of white peach and orange blossom. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine depth and concentration counterbalanced by a brisk line of acidity. It gradually builds to a very suave and prolonged finish. Excellent.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 88/100 “The 2022 Rully Montmorin has a light nose with Granny smiths and fresh pear, a light limestone aroma hovering in the backgroud. The palate is well-balanced with fine poise and little more nerve than the Bourgogne Blanc. The neatly integrated 10% new oak rounds out the finish nicely. Worth seeking out.”

Appointment : Jean-Michel Chartron was doubly elected "Winegrower of the Year": in the magazine "Bourgogne Aujourd'hui" in March 2018 and in the Hachette guide in September 2018.The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 87-89/100 “The 2022 Savigny-lès- Beaune Blanc has plenty of orchard fruit on the nose, orange pith and tangerine, very alluring with nicely integrated oak. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's creamier than expected, with almond and white chocolate touches towards the finish. I would broach this young and enjoy it in its flush of youth.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 87-89/100 “The 2022 Santenay Les Pierres Sèches comprises five barrels this year (one new). Orchard fruit mixed with light honeyed scents on the nose, perhaps requiring just a little more delineation. The palate is well-balanced with commendable purity, slightly waxy in texture, with a dab of stem ginger enlivening the finish. Fine weight and persistence, I prefer this to the previous vintage.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 87-89/100 “The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Villages comes from the youngest vines in Cailleret, which were replanted in 2017 and is blended with vines from Benoites. The pretty nose has hints of candy floss filtering through the citrus fruit and a touch of wild strawberry. The palate is well-balanced and quite strict in style, not a powerful Chassagne but certainly tensile. I would have preferred a touch more depth and grip on the finish.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 88-90/100 “The 2022 Puligny-Monrachet Village comes from plots on the estate, augmented by exchanges on the négoce side of the business. It offers Granny Smiths and light limestone scents on the nose, though it needs more vigor. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite mineral-driven with a flinty, focused finish. Not a long-term Puligny, Though it will drink well over the next decade.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 90-92/100 “The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 has a straightforward bouquet of white peach, citrus peel and light almond scents, although it doesn't quite have the minerality of the best vintages I've tasted from Chartron. The palate is well balanced, with a creamy, almondy, chai-tinged entry. A little oaky for the moment (about a third), but this will be assimilated during ageing.”
