The 2011 Chablis Montmains is quite a bit more taut and pointed than the Vaucoupin. Lemon zest, spices and slate all meld together in this gracious, nicely balanced wine. A hint of salinity adds freshness on the finish. I very much like the sense of direction and energy. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. These 2011s and 2010s from the vast Brocard portfolio (which also includes Domaine Herve Azo) are quite representative of the respective years. The 2010s have excellent depth of fruit and acidity, while the 2011s are pretty, easygoing wines best suited to near-term drinking. In general terms, the Brocard wines tend to be fairly bold and up-front in style.Importers: Verity Wine Partners, New York, NY; tel. (212) 683-8763, Chambers & Chambers, San Francisco, CA; tel.
