The only Grand Cru in Julien Brocard's portfolio is Chablis Les Preuses. Located in the north of the AOC, this vineyard has a reputation for producing substantial and intense Chablis that tolerates long bottle aging well. The expansion of the Julien Brocard les Preuses takes place three quarters in concrete eggs and one quarter in wooden barrels.
The first-class 2020 vintage resulted in a great Les Preuses that combines a brilliant extract with freshness and mineral elegance. The wine has a lot of structure and bite, is complex and very persistent on the palate. It is easy to drink young, but will blossom fully from around 2025 and will then be in the best drinking window for at least 10 years.
Unfortunately, we did not find any reviews for the 2020 vintage. 2021 and 2017 were each rated 95/100 by Decanter magazine, making this Chablis one of the absolute top in the growing region. This rating should at least be possible for the first-class 2020 vintage.
