Jean-Marc Brocard, Chablis “Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire”

The chiseled contours of Jean-Marc Brocard’s iconic Chablis will sink through your thirst like a hot knife through butter. This is Burgundy Chardonnay in all its laser-like glory. No wine on earth mingles richness and raciness quite like a classically styled Chablis of this caliber—and the Brocard family, perhaps more than anyone, would know. They’ve been at the forefront of the region’s organic farming movement for three decades, steering their domaine with a contrasting mix of dynamic business sense and an indisputable passion for the traditional rhythms of sustainable farming. Their “Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire” Chablis is an organically farmed, old-vine Chardonnay—most planted right after the Second World War—that undergoes clean, stainless steel winemaking. The result is incredibly refreshing, juicy, delicious Chardonnay built for the summer.

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
