CHARTRON

Established in 1859 by the cooper-craftsman Jean-Edouard Dupard, Domaine Jean Chartron has been governed by four generations concerned with both the expansion and prosperity of the prestigious vineyards as the management of the rural district .

The village owes its name to Jean-Edouard Dupard, when in 1873 as mayor of Puligny he asked the local council to authorize the decision that the name Montrachet - the most prestigious vineyard ¬be added to that of Puligny, the original name of the village. Jean-René Chartron, the 4th generation, is without doubt the one who has brought the most to the domaine, making wines of the highest quality and today, it is his son, Jean-Michel Chartron - 38 years old, who runs the domaine.
