JM Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Montmains
  Domaine Sainte Claire 1996

JM Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Montmains Domaine Sainte Claire 1996: This has a good mineral element to the nose when opened - classic Chablis. But there are hints of richness too, with even a hint of pineapple, and an oatmealy edge. As the wine opens up this becomes even more prominent. On the palate there is crisp acidity married with rich yet elegant, buttery fruit, which builds on the palate to give a weighty, creamy, butterscotch, endpalate. Lovely finish, with a lingering, savoury length. Undoubtedly the best JM Brocard bottling I can recall. 17/20 (2/4/01)
