"90-92 Points - Neal Martin, January 2026
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Village is a blend of owned and exchanged fruit. This has another bright and quite minty bouquet that soars from the glass. Plenty of energy. The palate is fresh and vibrant, fine weight, quite tensile with plenty of mineralité on the finish. Classically styled Puligny that will give a lot of pleasure. Drinking Window: 2026 – 2036

A fresh green tint. More energy than the Chassagne, albeit still with austerity. Now, a greater volume of high-class fruit develops. Some fleshier plum fruit on top of the structural framework. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2025.."
Domaine Jean Chartron dates from 1859 and is now run by the 5th generation of the family, Jean-Michel looks after the winery whilst his sister Anne-Laure manages the vineyards. With 13 hectares, including Grand Cru’s and 1er Cru Monopole vineyards, they are an important vineyard proprietor in Puligny and have long been one of the high profile Domaines of the village. Jean-Michel and Anne-Laure are producing outstanding wines.

Jean-Michel Chartron had one of the longer 2024 harvests, starting on 13th September for crémant, and finishing as the rains were about to return on the 26th. Chaptalisation was necessary as he preferred to finish with classical degrees of 13% for village wines and either side of 13.5% for the 1ers and Grands Crus. When I tasted, the first three whites were in bottle, the rest racked to tank but neither fined nor filtered yet, trials coming up. The Grands Crus were still in barrel. All this is as usual in terms of elevage.

These wines are finally beginning to attract the respect they deserve. Chartron deftly bridges entry-level, affordable, more commercial cuvées with some of the most prized holdings in the Côte de Beaune, so there is something for everyone at this address.
