Among Chartron et Trebuchet's premiers crus, all the wines I tasted were good, but those that stood out included a structured, backward, highly concentrated, medium-bodied 1989 Puligny-Montrachet-Clos du Caillerets. I thought this premier cru was every bit as good as the grands crus I tasted from Chartron et Trebuchet. I would opt for drinking it over the next 5-8 years.
The 1989 white Burgundies from Chartron et Trebuchet are the best this relatively young negociant firm has yet produced. After tasting through their entire line, I noted (and I have seen this in past vintages as well) that a number of their lower level wines taste every bit as good as some of their premiers crus and grands crus. In fact, despite how good the Batard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet tasted, the grands crus do not seem to be significantly better, and perplexingly, are not as interesting, nor as rich as their best premiers crus.
