After marrying his childhood sweetheart, Claudine, Jean-Marc Brocard moved from his native village in Burgundy’s Cote d’Or region, to her hometown in Chablis. As a wedding present, Claudine’s father presented the couple with 1.5 acres of vines near the Church of Saint Claire and in 1972 the Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard was born.

In 1998 Jean-Marc decided to cultivate most of their vineyards using biodynamic principles, which is a step further towards sustainability than even organic viticulture. Biodynamic preparations based on extracts from beneficial plants are sprayed over the vineyard to boost the vine’s natural defences, thus protecting it from diseases in a completely natural way. Work in the vineyards and in the cellars is also carried out in harmony with the rhythms of nature and the lunar, solar cycles. Brocard’s Chablis expresses the pure quality of the chalky and mineral soil.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, citrus blossom and mandarin aromas occupy the bouquet. On the palate, more citrus and additional green apple aromas, leading to racy acidity and firm minerality. Pair with a selection of oysters from around the Maritimes, ceviche, or your favourite cold, summer salad.

Method

Made from 100% Chardonnay, the grapes come from vineyards that are sustainably farmed with high density, 15 year old vines in Auxerre, just southwest of Chablis. The soil is Kimmeridgian with alternate layers of very compact limestone, and softer clayey marls containing marine fossils.

    Easy summer drinking. Lovely wine made in the chablis style – right amount of acidity with melon and peach on the palate, and a nose that keeps you looking for more. Great value for the price point
