| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Decant it on 4/23/2011 & rated 89 points: Fresh, crisp very pleasant Chablis. Lots of apple with undertones of butter and pear. Enjoyed with roasted beet, walnut and blue cheese salad. (1399 views) | | Tasted by Chowdi on 4/6/2010 & rated 94 points: Having just opened a 2004 bottle of this wine in 2010, I was a bit worried that it had turned to vinegar. But once properly chilled (as instructed by my German girlfriend who explained that North Americans serve white wine too warm by European standards), the Chablis went down like water as it was smooth and buttery with hints of citrus that are not overpowering. My girlfriend who was a Chardonnay fan was immensely impressed by the superb quality of this to the next bottle that we consumed. Looking forward to buying another bottle. (1555 views) | | Tasted by Haj on 6/22/2009: Lemon accented apple and an amazingly clean mineral body; chalk note at the end adds class and dimension. The bright acidity matched with the pure taste and texture of the main body makes this literally thirst quenching in a way-- goes down faster than it should! (1551 views) |

The domaine of Jean-Marc Brocard began as just one hectare, a wedding gift from his wine-growing father-in-law. In 1973, when Julien was born, Jean-Marc planted his first vines in Préhy, where, a few years later, he built his winery and which subsequently became the Jean-Marc Brocard estate in the heart of the Chablis vineyards. He has since expanded the domaine to 200 hectares, of which half are managed adopting organic or biodynamic principles, and is widely recognised as one of Chablis’s leading producers. The estate is now run by Jean Marc's son Julien, a passionate exponent of biodynamics and ancestral wine making methods and the domaine has since become one of the leading producers cultivating vines organically.
The low-impact approach undertaken in the vineyards - ploughing in place of herbicides, predators instead of pesticides, manure rather than fertiliser, and as little spraying as the grapes’ health requires - is matched by a hands-off winemaking philosophy in the cellar. The resulting wines are pure, unadorned expressions of the great chalk slopes of Chablis.

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest" 2019 vintage reports 2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards.

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes: * "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons * "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson * "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes: "We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes: "Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes: "Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes: "The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes: "... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes: "There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
