Wine & Spirits:  Rated as Exceptional examples of their type.  "A substantial Bourgogne blanc, this has flavors that emerge out of supple leesiness, building from wheat to green apple, honey and lemony acidity. Its youthful greenness and pale limestone minerality give it the feel of a young Champagne. This has the refinement to match a creamy shellfish stew." Apr 2011

Winery:  "This is the best quality soil type where authentic Chablis grow. It consists of alternate layers of dense chalk and softer permeable clay, encrusted with marine fossils (Oestra Virgula). Our vines are located in the south of Chablis AC close to the village of Saint-Cyr les Colons (south facing slopes). The mineral character of the resulting wine is typical of Chablis wines.  Jean-Marc Brocard has created this Chardonnay collection to allow each soil to reveal its personality and its authenticity through Chardonnay.  Aging potential is 2 to 5 years."

Wired For Wine:  Get ready for warmer temperatures and time spent outdoors with this delicious Jean-Marc Brocard Kimmeridgien Bourgogne Chardonnay.  At this price, you will want to stock up, winelovers!  A classic French Chablis, this Brocard is perfect as an aperitif all by itself.  If you prefer something to nibble on, and are feeling like treating yourself, steamed lobster dumplings are just the ticket.  The crisp minerality and lemony acidity make this Bourgogne Blanc a natural with chicken, white fish, lobster, and more.  A terrific comfort food choice is a creamy corn and crab chowder served with a warm, crusty baguette.   Il est si bon!  For the opening notes of delicate wheat, we choose Bresse chicken with mushroom sauce.  And because butter and butter sauces are fantastic opposite the lovely acidity of this Kimmeridgien, we also recommend sole Meuniere with a browned butter caper sauce.  Céleste.  Open at least one more bottle and top off your glasses while you savor a French Chaumes cheese.  It's mellow, creamy paste is rich and full-bodied in flavor, and a lovely accompaniment to this French white.  Qu'est-ce que vous attendez?!
