Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Sainte Claire Burgundy, France 2022

Prooducer: Jean-Marc Brocard

Grape: Chardonnay

Where: Chablis,  Burgundy

Country: France

Taste: Smoky, flinty notes suggest some reduction at first but open nicely to reveal green-plum and yuzu aromas. Sourced from a single vineyard of 30-year-old, organically farmed vines, it's a fresh, cutting lime and lemon sip with a long, delightfully chalky finish. - Wine Enthusiast

Additional Info:

The family-run estate farms organically and shuns the use of new oak barrels because they want to emphasize the character the site imparts to the grapes. This one, a “simple” village Chablis, is outstanding — not simple at all. You can almost taste the limestone it’s so mineral-y and cutting. There’s real depth here, which is why it stands apart from so many other village Chablis wines and is more engaging than many producers’ premier crus. It’s a bargain for what it delivers. A delight to drink now, this wine will be perfect for summer seafood, so stock up.
