Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The Premier Cru Vau de Vey vines cling on to a very steep slope. Located on the left bank of the Serein River and facing East, this terroirgives us rich and delicate wines with a marked minerality.
Gold-green color. A clear and precise wine, salt and flexible, anise. Finish is soft and warm.
Pair with fish, seafood and shellfish, grilled or in a cream sauce. Poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.
Professional Ratings

Wine Enthusiast
Vanilla and crisp minerality play together in this ripe wine with steely core. It has intense acidity, a lively, bright texture plus a flinty edge that will allow it to age.
Editors' Choice -
Wine Spectator
A mix of apricot, orange Creamsicle, lemon pie and stone flavors ply the creamy texture. Balanced, this expands on the finish.

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.
