Founded in 1859 by cooper Jean-Édouard Dupard, Domaine Jean Chartron has remained in the family for five generations. His daughter Eugénie brought the vineyards into the Chartron family through her marriage to Jean-Edmond Chartron. The family’s history is closely woven into that of the village: in 1873, while serving as mayor, Dupard helped secure the addition of “Montrachet” to Puligny’s name, honoring its most celebrated vineyard.
Today, siblings Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure Chartron oversee the estate’s 14.5 hectares across Puligny-Montrachet and neighboring villages. Jean-Michel handles winemaking, while Anne-Laure manages the vineyards. Their holdings include village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru sites, with celebrated bottlings such as Puligny-Montrachet Clos du Cailleret, Clos de la Pucelle, and Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers.
Chardonnay is the heart of the domaine. The whites are fermented and matured in oak, with the proportion of new barrels tailored to each appellation and vintage, generally ranging from 10% to 30%. Careful vineyard work and measured use of oak support the family’s aim: to reveal the distinct character of each Burgundian site.
