We're always on the look-out for under-the-radar Chablis stars to introduce to our avid Burgundy clientele, and this 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a perfect introduction to a domaine that should be on everyone's short list. When he's not overseeing the extensive domaine and négociant arms of the vast Jean-Marc Brocard estate, Julien Brocard devotes his spare time to turning out fabulous wines of true terroir distinction under his own eponymous label. The entire range is a tour de force in biodynamic winemaking, the trio on offer today exemplifying Brocard's meticulous precision and commitment to authentic terroir expression.
Leading off, we have a "very terroir-driven ... very promising" Côte de Léchet 1er Cru that notched 92+ points from Neal Martin of Vinous, followed by a potential 96-point Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru that Decanter calls "a fine balance between the power and minerality of Montée de Tonnerre and the ripeness of this particular site." Chablis fans and collectors on the hunt for a thrilling discovery to follow over the coming years should take a serious look at Julien Brocard, especially at our unbeatable market-leading pricing across the board. |
