Founded in 1984 in Puligny-Montrachet, Chartron et Trébuchet is historically located in the golden triangle of the Côte de Beaune: the villages of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet form a trio that is a must for any connoisseur. Adjacent to the great Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet crus, they have become the emblems of the Chartron and Trébuchet signature throughout the world.
Maison François Martenot cultivates the vines and vinifies the most beautiful appellations of Greater Burgundy with the desire to reveal the expression of the terroirs and the famous Climats (recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), from Chablis in the North to the Crus southern Beaujolais.
The house has its origins at the beginning of the 20th century when Lucien Gustave Martenot acquired a 10-hectare estate in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
This estate was created in 1859 by Mr. Léonce Bocquet, then the sole owner of Château du Clos Vougeot and a fervent defender of Burgundy and its cultural heritage. The estate then developed thanks to the acquisition of neighboring land and numerous works of planting vines and housing works were undertaken.
In July 1922, Lucien Gustave Martenot bought the estate to make it a great Burgundy wine house. To succeed him, his daughter, Miss Charlotte Martenot, with an exceptional charisma, will manage this company, the notoriety of which will then grow. Thus, through the generations, the Maison François Martenot, worthy heir to its illustrious founders, has extended its activities to all the appellations of Burgundy and Beaujolais. Since 2015, the Helfrich family has been linked with Burgundy and offers Maison François Martenot a new vision. This acquisition marks a pivotal period in our qualitative approach. The investments of the Helfrich family allow Maison François Martenot to combine century-old regional know-how and cutting-edge technical modernity, with the aim of spreading its influence in France and abroad.

The style of Chartron et Trébuchet wines is to reveal with grandeur and exactness each shade of terroirs and climats, oh so representative of Burgundy. The light wooden notes enhance the wine’s natural elegance. The great finesse of aromas can then expresses itself when ageing.
TASTING NOTES
Lovely pure golden green colour that develops into light yellow with age. It is vibrant and limpid. The fine, sumptuous nose unveils mineral aromas, floral notes of linden, dry fruits, honey and almond. The mouth is dense, full, opulent, deep and beautifully balanced.

Burgundy is a historical region in east-central France. It's famous for its Burgundy wines as well as pinot noirs and Chardonnay, Chablis and Beaujolais. The area is crisscrossed by a network of canals and studded with grand châteaux, some now luxury hotels. The capital, Dijon, of mustard fame, is home to the imposing Palace of the Dukes, where the distinguished Musée des Beaux-Arts was established in 1787.
The Côte de Beaune is a key wine-producing district in Burgundy, eastern France. It is named after its main town, Beaune – the epicenter of local wine production and commerce. Famed for producing some of the world's most expensive white wines (most of which bear the name Montrachet in some form or other), the district is also responsible for a handful of Burgundy's top red wines, particularly those from the premier cru vineyards of Pommard and the grand cru Corton. As is the case for most of Burgundy, white wines are made from Chardonnay, the reds from Pinot Noir.
