This Chablis comes from a house that has spent its entire life next door to Montrachet. Chartron et Trébuchet has always been based in the Côte de Beaune's "Golden Triangle" of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, with the Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet grands crus as neighbours. Two friends founded it in Puligny in 1984 (one of them was Jean-René Chartron), and it still uses its blue-bordered label as a nod to that history. The winemaking team calls its approach a modern take that respects the house's heritage. They work with grapes from plots they know intimately and treat vinification as a matter of precision. Here they've turned that approach north to Chablis, which sits near Auxerre on a small river called the Serein ("serene"). The house's Chablis is a white made from Chardonnay, and it's a straightforward, easy way into classic Chablis from people who think about Chardonnay for a living.
