About This Vineyard

Jean-Marc Brocard’s origins lie in the Côte d’Or, a farmer’s son from the village of Chaudenay-le-Château.  It was a happy accident of marriage that brought him to wine, when he married Claudine (his childhood sweetheart), a vigneron’s daughter from the village of St-Bris-le-Vineux in the valley of Yonne. Starting with a hectare of vines from his father-in-law, Emile Petit, he has created an estate of some 180 hectares of vineyards in Chablis and Burgundy a number of which are certified organic — and Boissonneuse which is biodynamic .

Jean-Marc acknowledges a considerable debt to one of the old vignerons of St-Cyr les Colons, a man Louis Petit, who despite the name is unrelated to his father-in-law. The oldest vines of the Domaine Sainte Claire came from Louis Petit and it was he who gave to Jean-Marc the sense of tradition and a respect for nature, showing him that you can still maintain the old traditions, while practicing modern methods. Born and bred, devoted to the land and it’s characterful wines.
