Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Vieilles Vignes De Sainte Claire 2024 (750ml) *
Product price
$25.99
Description
Unoaked Chardonnay from Chablis tends to show the grape at its leanest and most mineral, and this bottling from Jean-Marc Brocard leans into that clarity. It comes from older vines, in the range of fifty to seventy years, farmed organically across several parcels in this corner of northern Burgundy. Fermented and aged on the lees in tank for about nine months, the 2024 keeps its focus tight, with no wood to blur the edges.
Expect a crisp, refreshing pour that opens on lemon peel and nectarine, with a faint note of praline threading through the citrus. The palate is fresh and cleanly drawn, its acidity bright and its weight moderate, carrying cooking apple and freshly cut pear toward a lightly spiced finish. There is enough length and extract here to feel satisfying rather than thin. It drinks well right out of the gate and has a few good years ahead of it.

Expert Reviews
Crisp and refreshing, opening with typical, moderately pronounced aromas of lemon peel and nectarine. The balance on the palate is satisfying, with fresh acidity, moderate density of extract and good length. A blend of several parcels of organically grown grapes, fermented and aged on the lees in tank for nine months. This will drink well on release. (Decanter, September 2025)
From 50- to 70-year-old vines, the 2024 Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire has an appealing, finely delineated nose with just a hint of praline infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, moderate weight and a mix of cooking apple and freshly cut pear notes leading to a lightly spiced finish. This is ready to go and will give four to six years of drinking pleasure. (Vinous)
