Jean-Marc Brocard, Chablis, Sainte Claire "Vieilles Vignes" Burgundy, France, 2019

Overview of the Wine
Some twenty years ago, Jean-Marc Brocard chose to establish his estate in Préhy, a small village near the town of Chablis.... At that time, one of his in-laws, Louis Petit, taught him about the vine and at the same time instilled a deep sense of tradition and respect for nature. Boosted by this knowledge and determined to dedicate himself to a vineyard, Jean-Marc Brocard planted a hectare of vines within the appellation of Chablis.

As a perfectionist, Jean-Marc Brocard naturally erected his purpose-built cellars in the centre of his vineyard to give the grapes his constant attention. Such dedication together with the best quality Chablis soil produce an exceptional wine with a typical mineral style. It is elegant and full of character. Jean-Marc Brocard’s boundless dedication to wine has borne fruit: the Brocard estate now comprises 80 hectares of vines, 65 of which are adjacent to the cellars.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Aromatically the wine is full of yellow fruits, such as lemon and crunchy apples, mango, and a hint of salty air. On the palate, the wine is a touch oily, with notes of marzipan, crushed rocks and delicate lemon curd. 

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast
It takes much swirling to get a hint of lemon zestiness on this wine's very shy nose. Equally reticent, the palate is driven forward by a core of textured lemon brightness. This wine is elegant and a picture of mouthwatering lemon zestiness.
