Domaine Jacky Truchot
The Jacky Truchot estate, also known as Truchot-Martin, was a wine-growing estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits. Jacky Truchot and his wife Liliane produced wines there, notably from Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. The estate ceased operations after the 2005 vintage and Jacky Truchot’s retirement.
Histoire du domaine
Jacky Truchot worked at his cousin Henri Mauffrey’s estate in Morey-Saint-Denis before gradually taking over its management. Upon Henri Mauffrey’s death in 1978, Jacky Truchot and his wife Liliane took over the running of the estate. The Truchot-Martin estate then produced wine for around twenty-six vintages under the name Jacky Truchot. At that time, its vineyard covered seven hectares, spread across plots in Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, including the grands crus Clos de la Roche and Charmes-Chambertin. The 2005 vintage was the last to be marketed under the estate’s name, as Jacky Truchot retired in 2006. The seven hectares were subsequently acquired and incorporated into David Duband’s estate; the Jacky Truchot estate therefore no longer exists as an independent wine-producing entity.
Charmes-Chambertin (Gevrey Chambertin)
Charmes-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Aux Charmes and Mazoyères. The vineyard occupies a slight piedmont bench, between 260 and 280 meters in altitude, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. Its shallow, carbonated and well-draining soils combine limestone gravel, clays and red silts; the parcels of Aux Charmes face mostly east to east-northeast, while Mazoyères is oriented more towards the south. The demarcated area of Mazoyères-Chambertin coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, the latter name being commonly claimed.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats Aux Charmes and Mazoyères is attested as early as the 18th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified them partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A 1931 ruling by the Dijon court sanctioned the addition of the name Chambertin and established the boundaries of the appellation d'origine; the AOC Charmes-Chambertin was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937. The parcel area currently specified in the product specification cahier des charges was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
