91pts Jasper Morris

Pale lemon in colour. Quite steely on the nose, though as ever with the slight softness of fruit of Fourchaume behind. Fills the mouth quite well and does have grip behind. Medium intensity, picked early enough, a Chablis of less tension than from some terroirs. Barrel sample: 89-91

Winemaker Notes

Brocard Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru has a fresh nose with toasted and saline notes, mineral taste and candied lemon aromas. A refined and elegant wine.

About the Winery

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.
