ABOUT THE WINERY
HUBERT BROCHARD
Hubert Brochard is a traditional family producer in the village of Chavignol, west of Sancerre. Hubert's son Henri and wife Therèse managed the domain through the second half of the 20th century and bought more land, so the family has 60 acres in total, distributed between Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. Three sons manage the domain today: Daniel the property as a whole, Jean-Francois in the fields and Benoit as cellar master.
Hubert Brochard er en traditionsrig familieproducent i landsbyen Chavignol, vest for Sancerre by. Hubert's søn Henri og ægtefælle Therèse styrede domænet gennem anden halvdel af 1900-tallet og købte mere jord til, så familien har 60 hektar i alt, fordelt på Sancerre og Pouilly Fumé. Tre sønner styrer i dag: Daniel ejendommen som helhed, Jean-Francois i markerne og Benoit som kældermester.
Sauvignon Blanc
Often called simply Sauvignon, extremely popular variety making crisp, dry, aromatic and extremely distinctive wines all over the world. The smell is sharp and piercing and reminds different tasters variously of gooseberries, nettles, crushed blackcurrant leaves, and occasionally cat’s pee. With age, aromas reminiscent of canned asparagus can develop.
Most Sauvignon Blanc is fermented at relatively low temperatures in stainless steel with the intention of preserving every bit of youthful fruit. The wines are in general designed to be drunk as young as possible, although some of the fruit from particularly low-yielding vineyards can be concentrated to withstand oak ageing and may need a year or so in bottle before showing their best.
