The domain of Jean-Marc Brocard began as just one hectare, a wedding gift from his wine-growing father-in-law. He has since expanded to 200 hectares, of which half are organic or biodynamic and is widely recognized as one of Chablis’s leading producers. The low-impact approach in the vineyard – ploughing in place of herbicides, predators instead of pesticides, manure rather than fertilizer, and as little spraying as the grapes’ health requires – is matched by a hands-off winemaking philosophy. The results are pure, unadorned expressions of the great chalk slopes of Chablis.
