Domaine Jean Chartron St Aubin Premier Cru Perrières 2016
Saint-Aubin Premier Cru AOP
This is a supreme Premier Cru from a tiny but top quality vintage, and from a leading estate in Puligny and fine producer of Saint Aubin. Barrel fermented and aged in part new oak, it is luscious and creamy ripe, yet has intense citrus minerality.

Cooper craftsman Jean-Edouard Dupard set up this superb domaine in 1859, and it was he who, as mayor of Puligny in 1873, orchestrated the decision that Montrachet – the region’s most prestigious vineyard – be added to the village name (Puligny). Neighbouring Chassagne soon followed suit. Domaine Jean Chartron has been run by five generations of the family, with current owner Jean-Michel Chartron continuing his father’s excellent work. Quality is now soaring. He acquired Les Perrières in 2008. This top flight Saint Aubin is beautifully crafted in a difficult, frost struck vintage. Barrel fermentation and ageing for a year in part new oak has lent a lavish layer of toasted vanilla to this fine white Burgundy. Open early and decant or cellar.
