A French Chardonnay crafted like other great Brocard wines, mineral, crisp, even greedy. Opens with a zesty bouquet of lemon/lime, fresh peach and minerality. The acidity accents the fresh, zesty flavors and it finishes cleanly with accents of green apples on the back end. Enjoy it with starters, tapas, or snails. A wine signed Brocard, a token of quality and a trusted name for wine buyers. A visual identity that follows traditional bistro codes, reassuringly familiar and helpful.

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE – 2 1/2 STARS (Exceptional)
Wow. This is simply one of the best chardonnays under $15 I’ve tasted in a long time. The Brocard family makes wine in Chablis . Sourced from outside the Chablis demarcation, it captures that style without carrying the price. Exquisitely balanced, it’s bursting with flavors of citrus and peach that seem to reach for the sky, and a taut stoniness that keeps it grounded. ABV: 13 percent – 12 BEST BARGAINS OF 2019
