Jean Chartron
Jean Chartron produces white Burgundy from the region's most prestigious terroirs. The winery's portfolio centers on Grand Cru Chardonnays from the Montrachet slope—among the world's most sought white wine sites. Montrachet Grand Cru and Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 'Clos des Chevaliers' Monopole both achieve 94-point average ratings from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru follows at 93.5 points. These are wines of mineral precision and aging potential, expressions of limestone-rich soils and cool-climate Chardonnay at the highest level. The monopole designation on the Chevalier-Montrachet reflects sole ownership of that vineyard parcel—a mark of distinction in Burgundy's fragmented landscape.
