Profile

シャブリの西側に位置するベーヌ村を拠点とするジャン・マルク・ブロカールは、一代で地域屈指の規模へと成長を遂げたドメーヌである。徹底した土壌分析に基づき、キンメリジャン土壌の個性を純粋に表現することを哲学に掲げている。そのラインナップは圧巻で、レ・クロやレ・プルーズなど5つの特級畑に加え、モンテ・ド・トネールやフルショームを含む13もの一級畑を擁する。広大な自社畑を管理しながらも、各テロワールの差異を緻密に描き出すスタイルは、シャブリの多様性を知る上で欠かせない指標となっている。伝統と近代的手法を融合させ、果実味の集中力とミネラル感の調和を追求するその姿勢は、現代のシャブリを代表する造り手として高く評価されている。

History

Jean-Marc Brocard is a Chablis estate based in Beine, built from nearly nothing over two generations. Jean-Marc Brocard arrived in Chablis in 1974 with a few rented parcels; his son Julien now directs the domaine. The estate grew steadily — acquiring parcels across the appellation — and today ranks among the larger independent Chablis producers, with holdings in all five grand cru lieux-dits as well as multiple premier crus.

Winemaking Approach

The estate works 19 parcels across 9 communes, with grand cru Chablis (5 parcels) and premier cru Chablis (14 parcels) forming the backbone. Brocard farms biodynamically and has done so since 2010, a commitment that shapes both viticultural practice and public identity. In the cellar, stainless steel dominates for village and premier cru levels, preserving the sharp mineral tension that Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils produce. Grand cru wines see more wood — though never to the point where oak obscures the chalk.

YrScoreWindowNotes
2024★★★★★Drink earlyA brutal year of frost, hail, flooding and mildew. The little fruit that survived shows taut, bracing character but quantities are catastrophic.
2023★★★★★Drink earlyA large, ripe, juicy crop with balance but softer acidity. Drink-now appeal rather than long-aging structure.
2022★★★★HoldEarly harvest in a warm year delivered fresh, lively, juicy Chablis with structure for medium-to-long aging.
2021★★★★★HoldApril frost cut yields by half. A return to cool-climate, high-acid classicism with taut, mineral-driven wines built to age.
2020★★★★★HoldAn outstanding harvest with mouthwatering classical balance. Concentration and freshness combine for excellent long-term aging.
2019★★★★HoldDrought-shortened crop yielded concentrated, bright wines with retained acidity and good medium-to-long-term aging potential.
2018★★★★Drink nowAbundant, sunny year producing ample, ripe Chablis with exotic fruit and generous mid-palate. A more modern, fleshy style.
2017★★★★Drink nowFrost again reduced volumes, but surviving fruit produced bright, classical, mineral-clear Chablis with poise and freshness.
2016★★★★★Drink nowDevastating spring frost cut yields by 55%. Remaining grapes produced light, fresh, classical Chablis but in very limited quantities.
2015★★★★★Drink nowA warm, dry summer yielded fruit-forward Chablis with softer-than-usual acidity. Rounded, mid-term wines without classic steely tension.
