B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More
Ranging from fresh, entry-level cuvées to robustly structured 1ers and grands crus, these top-scoring selections from Jean Marc Brocard overdeliver on value for fans of white Burgundy seeking pure, reference-point terroir expressions. In a single generation, the Brocard family has gone from 1.5-hectares of vines to one of Chablis' household names and a top-selling favorite among Burgundy fans at B-21.
Once again, the 91-point 2022 Chablis Ste. Claire is "one of the hidden gems from Brocard" according to Neal Martin of Vinous, while the vibrant, 94-point 2022 Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire is "certainly pushing premier cru quality, if not even higher," for under $30. The richly concentrated, flagship 2022 Vieilles Vignes de 1946, sourced from a single plot of low-yielding vines planted near the winery just after the end of World War II, notched 93 points for its "dense and rich style" that's simultaneously "very classy and fine."
Brocard's highly rated 1ers and grands crus are led by the stunning, 94-point 2022 1er Cru Vaulorent from the sole 1er cru vineyard on the Grand Cru hill, a richly elegant rendition with notable concentration and fresh, focused acidity. Ranked #8 on Decanter's Top 10 Grand Cru Chablis of 2022, the textbook, 95-point 2022 Valmur Grand Cru offers fresh, ripe lightly spiced fruit with well-balanced minerality and a lingering salinity, a rich and harmonious Grand Cru promising to develop over the next decade.
These impressive 2022 Jean Marc Brocard selections elegantly balance the vintage's ripeness with fresh acidity and enticing minerality. They're easily some of Burgundy's most brilliant quality-for-price buys, masterfully crafted by one of the region's top producers. |
