Chartron and Trebuchet is a "new style"
negociant set up in 1984 by Louis Trebuchet, the manager of a Burgundy wine
firm, and Jean-Rene Chartron, a Puligny wine grower whose family has been
growing wines there since 1859. Noted for the quality of its white wines
(especially from Puligny-Montrachet), the company is now owned by Vincent
Sauvestre, a 4th generation winegrower based in Meursault with holdings all over
Burgundy including 3 Grand Crus and 12 Premier Crus. Jancis Robinson viewed this
firm (together with Olivier Leflaive) as the first members of a new breed of
merchants who are interested in conscientiously producing wines which show their
terroir.
