This Premier Cru is found mid-slope on the border between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The slope is very regular at between 3% and 6% and the soil is clay/limestone with red earth. The subsoil is a mixture of earth and flat volcanic rock which allows an extensive root system to develop. These conditions bring finesse and a touch of minerality to the wine.

Organically farmed Sauvignon Blanc from Yarra Valley

Surrounded by Chablis vineyards on all sides, the family estate was founded in 1973 by Jean-Marc Brocard, who has since been joined by his son Julien. The estate spans almost 200 hectares, 66 of which are certified organic. Precision, power and freshness are the signature characteristics behind every Brocard wine. The Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre vineyards lie on the right-hand side of the valley. Definitely the most complete Premier Cru, it offers a concentration of minerality, floral notes and complexity and has wonderful cellaring potential. Pale yellow with green glints, with aromas of lemon, yellow fruit, orange peel and green peppercorn. Flavours of orange and lemon zest can be found on the palate, supported by a dense, structured mouthfeel with wonderful persistence.
