"This cuvée reveals all the uniqueness of the estate: strength, precision and freshness".
"The Chablis Sainte Claire 2022 [...] is one of Brocard's hidden gems. The seductive nose offers scents of mirabelle plum, wet stone and nuanced pastry, with a hint of white asparagus in the background. The palate is well balanced, with lively acidity and commendable depth. This is a solid follow-up to the impressive 2021; who knows, it might even surpass it." (Vinous 2023)

Expert opinion
Decanter
Wine rated (guide 2023) 92/100
About the wine:
Density and concentration on the palate are supported by very precise acidity. You can feel the reductive style of winemaking here, but it's balanced and promises a bright future. The flavor is long and pure. A very interesting Chablis.

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Sélection Alexis Goujard
About the wine:
Behind a fine reduction, Sainte-Claire 2022 is crystalline yet dense, with a long, lingering mouthfeel, full of energy and fine bitters.
About the domain :
By dint of perseverance and hard work, Jean-Marc Brocard and his teams are proving to anyone who doubts that quantity and quality are perfectly compatible, provided they have the means to do so. On a vast vineyard estate, the team regularly produces a wide range of Yonne whites. The generics are always pure, and the climats, in a deeper style, retain a sharp identity, without the cloak of wood. Labels featuring a little ladybug distinguish the crus worked in organic farming.

About the wine:
Chablis Sainte Claire 2022, made from organically grown fruit in several large parcels, is one of Brocard's hidden gems. The seductive nose offers scents of mirabelle plum, wet stone and nuanced pastry, with a hint of white asparagus in the background. The palate is well balanced, with lively acidity and commendable depth. This is a solid follow-up to the impressive 2021; who knows, it might even surpass it.
