90pts Vinous
The 2023 Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire comes from 50-60 year old vines. Clearly a level up from the regular cuvée. This displays more mineralité and nuance on the nose with hints of white truffle. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite tensile with pleasing weight. Very harmonious on the finish. This is worth seeking out.
90pts Inside Burgundy
Pre 1970 vines. The lemon has a vintage ripeness to it. Mid lemon yellow. Clearly a greater weight of fruit to this, stones or pyrazines, clean pure and fresh, a lick of acidity at the back. Fine length. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted Jun 2024.
About the Wine
Jean-Marc Brocard is one of the leaders in biodynamic wines in Chablis. This old-vine wine is sourced from low yielding vines (planted just after WWII). Full bodied and richly textured, superior to many Premier Cru wines.
