Winemaker Notes
All in youth, Petit Chablis is lighter than Chablis but so typical of soil. Its vines grow on a portlandien soil, thus very calcareous, which gives a fruity and floral wine.
It can be drunk in any simplicity. Because Petit Chablis is a wine of thirst, a wine of pleasure.
Delicious as an aperitif, or with oysters or a seafood salad.
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.
