The Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire showcases the classic mineral-driven profile of Chablis, France. This white wine originates from the Burgundy region and is crafted from old-vine Chardonnay, resulting in a crisp acidity and notes of green apple, citrus, and flint, characteristic of its terroir.
Ideal food pairings include seafood dishes such as oysters and grilled fish, as well as creamy cheeses and light poultry. Its vibrant acidity complements rich flavors, enhancing the overall dining experience.
The 2023 Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire comes from 50-60 year old vines. Clearly a level up from the regular cuvée. This displays more mineralité and nuance on the nose with hints of white truffle. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite tensile with pleasing weight. Very harmonious on the finish. This is worth seeking out.
