97pts Decanter

A lucid, well honed and delicate example with notes of lemon, clementine, cantaloupe melon and hints of smoky notes and toasty nuances. Richly defined fruit with a lovely minerality and tension. *Decanter World Wine Awards 2021 Platinum Award!

An overtly phenolic nose is complemented by exotic yellow fruit and acacia blossom nuances. The sleek, well detailed and energetic flavors possess an admirably sleek texture along with plenty of minerality that also suffuses the clean, dry and lingering finale. The nose isn't particularly elegant and doesn't offer especially pronounced Chablis character, but the palate impression is lovely. Outstanding

The 2019 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a fresh, vibrant bouquet that shows more mineralité than the Mont de Milieu. The palate is taut and focused, offering gooseberry and Granny Smith apples, and quite spicy toward the finish, with pear and a touch of peach lingering on the aftertaste. This is a finely crafted Montée de Tonnerre

Winemaker Notes

Vineyard Notes

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.
