About Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume

Each of us has been indelibly influenced by a mentor who has shaped us into the individuals we are today. For Jean-Marc Brocard, the son of farmers, his life took a pivotal turn upon meeting Louis Petit, a vintner from whom he absorbed the ethos of “observe, be silent, and learn” over a two-year tutelage, instilling in him the requisite reverence and passion for viniculture. This formative experience, coupled with the pivotal encounter with his future wife and her family of vintners from Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, laid the foundation for his eponymous venture on the family estate in Chaudenay-le-Château. Later, in 1973, his son Julien Brocard was born, and after completing his engineering studies, he joined the estate in 1995, bringing with him a biodynamic vision and traditional methods. Today, the estate stands as one of Burgundy's most significant ecological domains, offering an extensive array of Chablis wines, as well as other whites and reds.

Among their most lauded offerings is the Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume. Nestled within the AOC Chablis Premier Cru, this premier cru is composed of limestone-rich soil, with chardonnay vineyards that bask in optimal sunlight. The estate practices organic viticulture to honor the vineyard, and when the grapes reach their peak ripeness, they are promptly harvested and transported to the winery to preserve the grape's inherent qualities. Traditional vinification follows. The fruit is meticulously selected and destemmed, and after pressing, the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures with complete malolactic fermentation. It then rests on its lees for 8-10 months prior to release.

The result is the Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume. A wine that embodies Louis Petit's teachings of vineyard observation, silence, and learning. A masterful Chablis with a striking power and exceptional elegance.
