Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre is located on the right side of the Grand Cru Valley and is considered number one of the Premier Cru vineyards, as the riches and most perfect wine. Montée de Tonnerre is right next to Grand Cru Blanchot, but gets a little overshadowed during the day and doesn’t quite reach the Grand Cru rating. The soil is very calcareous and gives the wine intense mineral notes, heaviness and structure. Montée de Tonnerre is a well-matured Chablis

Dry, with medium acidity, notes of yellow plum, peachy, with ripe notes of citrus, lightly spicy

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.
