Histoire du domaine
The estate was founded in 1859 by Jean-Édouard Dupard, a master cooper and wine merchant. His daughter Eugénie Dupard married Jean-Edmond Chartron and brought the family vineyards as a dowry, giving rise to the alliance of the Dupard and Chartron families. As mayor of Puligny, Jean-Édouard Dupard had a resolution passed in 1873 requesting the addition of the name of the Montrachet cru to that of the commune, which became Puligny-Montrachet. Several generations of the family subsequently took part in municipal life: Jean-Édouard Dupard, Jean-Edmond, Jean-Georges and then Jean-René Chartron successively served as mayor. Jean-Michel Chartron took over the estate in 2004; his sister Anne-Laure joined him to look after the vineyards more specifically, starting in 2014 according to the Guide Hachette. Today they represent the fifth family generation and farm 14.5 hectares in Puligny-Montrachet and neighboring communes.
Bâtard-Montrachet (Puligny Montrachet)
Bâtard-Montrachet is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated climat, shared between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. It occupies the lower part of the slope, exposed mainly to the east and south-east, at around 240 to 250 metres of altitude. Its brown limestone soils are thicker and more clayey towards the foothill, with clay colluvium relatively poor in stones. The substrate consists mainly of platy limestones from the Middle Jurassic, attributed to the Callovian.

Histoire de la parcelle
The "Bâtard" climat was already distinguished from Montrachet in the 18th century, although its wines were long assimilated with those of Montrachet. A 1921 judgment consecrated the use of the name "Bâtard-Montrachet" and the local hierarchy of grand crus. The AOC was recognized by the decree of 31 July 1937; its plot area was initially demarcated in 1939, then approved by the INAO in 1988 for Chassagne-Montrachet and in 1989 for Puligny-Montrachet.
