Stephane Brocard is son of famed Chablis winemaker, Jean-Marc Brocard. An intimate knowledge of Burgundy and a desire to create something unique led him to set up Closerie des Alisiers in 2007, a boutique négociant business contracting in small parcels of carefully selected grapes. His philosophy is to craft authentic wines of purity, fruit and freshness. Wines that highlight their specific terroirs, with the utmost respect for the land and the environment. Stéphane works together with the vignerons, insists on organic farming practices, and the finished wine he is purchasing is manipulated as minimally as possible and held to the highest standards. “I was brought up with straight, pure, mineral wines, which are far from dull, and I’m still always looking for true wines, which emphasize the terroir before the grape variety.”
