The story of Jean Marc Brocard Petit Chabli

Jean-Marc Brocard grew up in the Côte d'Or and settled in Préhy, southwest of the town of Chablis, in 1973, shortly after marrying a winegrower's daughter from Saint-Bris. He learned the trade from his father-in-law and built the family domaine parcel by parcel. It now covers about 200 hectares, and his son Julien, who joined in 1998, has steered the vineyards towards organic and biodynamic farming.

Petit Chablis sits on the lowest rung of the Chablis ladder. It was only recognised as its own appellation in January 1944, six years after Chablis itself. Most of its vineyards are on Portlandian soil, a slightly younger soil of similar structure to the Kimmeridgian under the better Chablis sites. The only grape is Chardonnay, and Brocard ferments this wine in stainless steel, so there is no oak in the way.

The result is bright, lively and clean, with lemon, green apple and white flowers over a mineral edge. Serve it at about 11 degrees. Shellfish and grilled fish suit it well, and it also works as an aperitif or alongside a plate of charcuterie.
