2021 | Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre | Chablis | France

A top premier cru from an organic Chablis pioneer — the vineyard right beside the grand crus, in magnum.

Jean-Marc Brocard built one of Chablis's most respected estates from scratch, farming organically and biodynamically. Montée de Tonnerre is widely considered the finest premier cru of Chablis — the valley adjacent to the grand crus — and this is 100% Chardonnay off Kimmeridgian limestone, all flint, salt and cut. Presented here in the celebratory 1.5L magnum.

Grand-cru-adjacent Chablis from an organic benchmark house, in magnum, is a table-stopper. 93 points, mineral and taut → the grand crus next door cost far more → at $144.99 the magnum you're pouring Chablis's best premier cru.

"Mineral-smoky, nuances of rhubarb, flint, green apple and citrus… wonderfully taut with juicy, ripe acidity and pleasant salinity." — Falstaff. Translation: flinty, saline Chablis of real cut and depth — green apple and lemon over crushed oyster-shell minerality.

The best premier cru of Chablis, from an organic pioneer, in magnum. Exactly the bottle for a seafood feast or a celebration.
