The sample I tasted was from the Hameau de Blagny, to which maybe other barrels will be added. Pale lemon colour with a lime green tint. There is a crystalline line of hillside fruit through this wine which extends to a high-class finish. It is lively yet with adequate concentration to make a well-balanced bottle. Persistent aftertaste.
The Chartron family uses only grapes from vines from 60-80 years of age across their holdings to craft this marvellous expression of the village with a lemon peel and nectarine fruit and hints of acacia flower, flint, and smoke. The texture is lively and bright, yet not lacking depth. This year the main sources are a parcel near the top of the Folatières slope by the woods and a small parcel of Blagny. This wine should open well in three to five years; you can easily drink it over the next 20. (Drink between 2025-2045)
