The Brocard family's vineyard is located in Préhy, a small village near Chablis where Jean-Marc Brocard chose to build his estate 40 years ago. It was at this time that Louis Petit, a member of his in-laws, "taught him the vine" and at the same time passed on to him values as important as respect for nature and traditions.

Today, 80 hectares of vines are being converted to organic farming, making the Jean-Marc Brocard estate one of the most important organic vineyards in Burgundy. Our aspiration is that in the long term, all our vines will be converted. The result is clear, pure, mineral wines, full of freshness and with a strong personality.

We produce our wines in almost all the Chablis appellations, from the 1er Cru to the Grand Cru and including the old vines. In all, we offer nearly twenty vintages to lovers of Burgundy white wines.

As a true visionary in love, he relies on the will to share the richness and magic of a renowned vineyard. The Chablis vineyard is a mosaic of climates whose mysteries are difficult to unravel. This is why Jean-Marc has always striven to apply ecological principles and to restrict human intervention, in order to reveal the authenticity of the Chablisian climates.

It was in 1995 that his son Julien started working alongside his father at the Domaine. Motivated by the desire to respect natural harmony and aillant liver with ancestral farming methods, he cultivated in 1998 an 11 hectare parcel of Chablis in biodynamic agriculture called "Domaine de la Boissonneuse"
In 2005, Julien saw the parcel certified AB and DEMETER and it is with the observation of the balance combined with the richness of the soil that Julien continues with passion in this
beautiful adventure. In
2015, we can say that this philosophy moves us forward every day and it is with pleasure that we continue on this path; together we give the power to the vine to reveal its
personality.
