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 that appear best suited to near-term drinking. In general terms, the Brocard wines tend to be pretty bold and up-front.

This estate began harvesting on the late side in 2010 (September 25), according to Julien Brocard, who said that the only problem with harvest rain was the slight diluting effect of morning dew. Grape sugars were sound (the wines now carry 12.8% to 13% alcohol "with a bit of chaptalization"), and acidity levels are in the 4.2 to 4.4 grams-per-liter range, compared to 3.7 to 3.9 in the more exotic 2009s. Brocard describes 2010 as "a classic year from a summer that was not too hot: fresh and minerally, with good ripeness. The acidity brings the minerality, but it''s not a hard acidity like in 2007."
