Chardonnay

An unpretentious all-rounder with a global career: that is one way to describe Chardonnay , which has become one of the most important quality white grape varieties. Modest soil requirements and an accommodating tolerance of climate make this French native a globetrotter. DNA analysis has established its descent from Pinot and Gouais Blanc (Heunisch). Chardonnay is grown successfully on every continent: in the USA, South America, Australia, Africa and, of course, Europe. Whether it takes its name from the small Burgundy village of Chardonnay is speculation, but entirely conceivable. Unusual features include not only its enormous distribution but also the wine's potential. Alongside excellent flavour, its ageing potential is particularly impressive. The wine is often given its finishing touches in oak, bringing nutty, smoky aromas fully to the fore. Over the years, Chardonnay has acquired many names, most no longer permitted. Nevertheless, anyone with a Chablis or Morillon in their glass is enjoying this small French grape of worldwide renown. As one of only three permitted varieties, Chardonnay also gives Champagne its special touch.

Distinctive Chablis. Invigorating and extremely precise!

Jean-Marc Brocard

Jean-Marc Brocard originally comes from a farming family on the Côte d’Or. With Claudine, his childhood sweetheart, wine also entered his life. The couple received 180 hectares of vineyards in Chablis and Burgundy from his father-in-law, and from Louis Petit, an experienced winegrower, they gained winemaking knowledge and a respect for tradition and nature.

Jean-Marc passed this fundamental outlook on to his children. Father and son have now worked as a team for a good 14 years to develop the estate, and for almost 6 years their vision has led them towards organic viticulture. The entire estate has recently completed conversion and certification. As Chablis tradition dictates, the wine is vinified in steel tanks and certainly not in oak barrels. The Brocards use modern technology both in the cellar and in the vineyard. The sites allow mechanical harvesting, making it possible to process the grapes extremely fresh. Alongside the latest technology and skilful blending, it is above all the mineral-rich, calcareous soils that create the typical Chablis aromas.
