A pleasant but strictly mediocre wine. More creamy than flinty, more puffy fruit than crisp minerality. Easy to drink but uninspiring. Not interesting enough to lay on the adjectives but will do in a pinch. Can neither eschew nor recommend.

Paitin with Giovanni Pesquero-Elia & Brocard Chablis (Bin 75): From 60 year old vines; pale greenish yellow; faint nose of briny green apple, some richness from the malo, lemon zest, fine chalk dust, obvious impact of nobility and saliva inducing quality; definitely less fat on the palate than the nose suggests, obvious Chardonnay, tart green apple and lemon, chalk resonates; delicious.

Greenish straw colour with hollow body. Nose of citrus blossom and apples, minerality on the palate. A velvety and refined wine with short finish and zesty acidity. Solid Chablis for the price.

Love this wine for how transparent it is and screams its terroir. Nose bursts with chalk dust like you are slapping two blackboard erasers together, followed by intense Granny Smith apple; palate is taut and almost severe (in a good way) with its razor acidity and fresh apple flavors and minerality; Brocard has yet to disappoint.

Nose: citrus, apple, peach, grapefruit and minerals. Taste: lemon, minerality, apple, a bit bread, nice acidity, quite long taste. Expected better concentration. Opened up a bit in the glass.

Yellow colour. On the nose there's minerals, yellow apples and citrus. The palate shows fruity sweetnes from apples and in the aftertaste there's red berries.

Pas de notes prises cette fois-ci, juste des impressions. Très fruité, vraiment un chablis atypique. La finale est acide et minérale comme on s'attend d'un chablis mais le début de bouche est tout en rondeur et en fruits jaunes. C'est bon malgré tout.

- Light gold color. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Narrow texture with a medium finish.

Visit to Jean-Marc Brocard in Chablis (Chablis): Slightly flowery, some ripe fruit, mineral, high acidity. Rather fruity style. Young but approachable, 87(+) p
