Domaine Charton

Pierre Charton founded the domaine during World War Two, in 1941. Today, it stands at 12 hectares and is run by Pierre’s grandson, Vincent, who succeeded his father Jean-Pierre a few years ago. It’s a true Mercurey domaine in that all the vineyards are in Mercurey, even the Aligoté that he makes. It’s predominantly a Pinot Noir domaine, but Vincent does make small volumes of three different cuvées of white, two of which we are offering for the first time in this offer. He works really hard in the vineyard, realising that that is where the quality begins, though with a young child on the way, he will have to get up extra early in future to fit in his usual quota of daily hours!
