2021 Prieure Saint Come Chablis

About the Wine

Wine critic James Suckling said Chablis “Delivers such purity, refreshment and are just always so enjoyable,” and we agree.

Jean-Marc Brocard is a big name in the wine industry. Born in Côte d’Or, Jean-Marc was raised in a family of farmers, wine runs through his veins. In 1973, he learned the wine biz guided by his stepfather and cousin, and some years later, he settled in Préhy and founded his emblematic winery, Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard. Today, he works with his son, Julien, who joined the team in 1990. Julien has an innovative and sustainable approach to wine, he started the conversion to organic and biodynamic farming and works continually to deliver the highest-quality wines.

These wines perfectly combine traditional winemaking with a more modern approach. The wines are crafted like a classic Chablis, vinified in vats, and aged in neutral large oak foudres for a year before bottling. The Brocard family had made a name for their vivid, classic, mineral, great value Chablis, like this amazing Prieure Saint-Come.

Chablis is loved by wine geeks and everyday drinkers alike for its characteristic minerality and finesse. Chablis' distinct terroir is due to a unique soil type found only in Chablis, Champagne, and southern England called Kimmeridgian. An ancient soil, 180 million-year-old to be exact, made up of clay and limestone that contains fossilized oyster shells. These fossilized sea creatures are attributed to Chablis being such an excellent pairing for oysters and fresh seafood. In addition to the minerality, Chablis is known for its incredible structure and mouthwatering salinity. If you haven't had the pleasure of falling in love with Chablis yet, what are you waiting for?

Tasting Notes: 100% Chardonnay. A lovely combination of white flower, lemon zest, and white peach. A fine balance with a round mouthfeel, freshness, and mineral smoothness and precision. If you love California chardonnay, there is no oak in this wine. Think of this as a Chardonnay made in a Sauvignon Blanc style.
