Vaudevey is located in the valley situated behind the Côte de Léchet. Brocard has four hectares on a very steep slope with east exposure. It's one of the coldest sites of all of the 1er Cru. It spends 12-13 months in large foudres. It has a richness to it and finishes with a lean and salty finish.
Julien Brocard was the first to practice biodynamic farming in Chablis and it was not without its challenges. Growers from neighboring plots feared that biodynamic farming brought disease to their vineyards. Ignoring the naysayers and happy with the results, Julien pressed on and continued to convert more vineyards to biodynamic agriculture. In 2012, feeling that the sites were showing their fullest potential, he launched his own label, Julien Brocard - les 7 Lieux. “7 Lieux” translates to seven sites and he started with seven wines that year.
