Hubert Brochard is a family run business dating back to the 1900's, with three sisters from the 4th generation currently at the helm. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from their vineyards located on the best hills of the villages around Chavignol. A classic and elegant Sancerre with white fruit aromatics, enhanced by a purity of citrus and mineral flavours.
Growing Conditions
Our Sancerre Blanc vineyard is very fragmented. It includes more than 220 fields
distributed over 7 villages.
We are working in conventional agriculture with bio-control; tilling, sodding,
stripping, and individual fertilisation. We are also currently working to achieve HVE
environmental certification (High Environmental Value) in order to give value to our
commitment to respect the environment.
Harvest
According to weather conditions and health status, this starts in September or
October. Harvesting is mechanised and by hand.
Winemaking
Hand sorting on reception of the harvest and then mechanical destemming of
the grapes. Slow pressing in pneumatic presses. Alcoholic fermentation at low
temperature in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.

Food Pairing
It is drunk chilled between 10°C and 12°C, as an aperitif and it goes well with seafood,
fish, cheese and ideally the famous «Crottin de Chavignol».
