About this winery

Jean-Marc Brocard's origins lie in the Côte d'Or, a farmer's son from the village of Chaudenay-le-Château, not even the son of the vigneron. Following his father’s advice Jean-Marc studied Engineering leaving behind agricultural life. It was an accident of marriage that brought him to wine when he married Claudine (his childhood sweetheart), a vigneron's daughter from the village of St-Bris-le-Vineux in the valley of Yonne.

Cellar Selection

September 2020

The 2019 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has an expressive nose of crushed stone, mirabelle and light honeysuckle aromas, one of the classiest from Brocard in 2019. The palate is fresh and saline on the entry, with driving acidity, superb tension and a judicious kiss of salinity on the racy finish. A great Chablis from Brocard. Recommended.

Cellar Selection

December 2020

Mossiness accompanies pear and lemon notes on this wine's nose along with a lift of dried hayflower. The palate adds ripe roundness and intense, multidimensional creaminess that takes in yeast, smokiness and chalkiness alongside the intense lemon.

January 2022 (Vintage 2020)

Bristling lemon and tart nectarine flavors are center stage in this fresh-fruited, youthful Chablis sourced from a premier cru site just outside the grand cru Les Preuses. Accented by hints of crushed almonds and a lingering tang of limestone, it's a rejuvenating white.

October 2012 (Vintage 2010)

An expansive nose with a pronounced floral character is trimmed in soft wood and sea shore nuances. In contrast to the Montée de Tonnerre, this is beautifully complex with fine richness to the mouth coating, round and ultra-refined flavors that possess a silky mouth feel before terminating in a balanced, focused and impressively persistent finish. Lovely juice.

December 2016 (Vintage 2015)

Delicate floral nose with lime notes. Fresh attack, lean and silky, with quite concentrated fruit in an elegant and well balanced style. It has ample fresh acidity and persistence.
