Brocard Bourgogne Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with seafood, goat cheese, grilled chicken, braised vegetables, and charcuterie.

This wine reflects the influence of soil composed of fossilized shell deposits. Brocard sources Chardonnay grapes from several organically cultivated areas in the Chablis and Auxerre regions. Prioritizing finesse and elegance, the selection favors young vines and slopes facing north and northeast. Grapes are harvested using modern, gentle harvesters and immediately pressed in the cellar. The juice undergoes natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks without stirring. This organic wine is suitable for vegans.

Producer story

Jean-Marc Brocard planted his first vines in 1973 in Préhy, within the Chablis region, where his estate is located. In the same year, his son Julien was born, who today leads the company with the latest biodynamic practices. The estate is one of the main players in Burgundy dedicated to organic farming. Precision, power, and freshness are the core principles and symbols of Jean-Marc Brocard's philosophy. Precision reflects the transmission of the Jurassic-era seabed into the vines, embodying the pure typicity of Chablis grapes. Power arises from the wine's structure, intensity, and length. Freshness emerges from the acidity created by the northern location and stony soil, which are characteristic of Chablis. In short, Jean-Marc Brocard's wines draw their true character from the soil. The estate's wines come from its own and leased vineyards covering a total of 200 hectares. Production includes the various expressions of Chablis, most of Auxerre's other wines, and three different terroirs of Burgundy white wine. Jean-Marc Brocard's wines are exported to 55 countries.
