Description

Elite

Surrounded by Chablis vineyards on all sides, the family
estate was founded in 1973 by Jean-Marc Brocard, who has
since been joined by his son Julien. The estate spans almost
200 hectares, 66 of which are certified organic.
Precision, power and freshness: these are the signature
characteristics of Brocard wines. Their unique style is
expressed in each of the Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis
Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru wines, which are
exported to nearly 50 countries.
38% of the Premier Cru Côte de Lechet vineyards grow on
slopes with direct sun exposure. Their soil is poor very stony,
which produces low yields and incredibly mineral
