In the Chicago Wine Press feature “Summer’s Brightest New Releases,” two standout Loire Valley wines from Domaine Hubert Brochard are highlighted for their precision and typicity: 2023 Hubert Brochard Château De Fontaine-Audon Sancerre and 2023 Hubert Brochard Château De Thauvenay Sancerre.
The Château De Fontaine-Audon Sancerre is sourced from 37 acres of flint soils and aged on the lees for six months. It offers vibrant acidity, a bouquet of peach blossom and mint, and layered notes of pink grapefruit and citrus peel over chalky texture and a juicy mouthwatering finish—making it a top pick for gastronomy.
The Château De Thauvenay Sancerre, from 30-year-old vines on kimmeridgian limestone, is more crystalline in profile with white flowers and bright minerality. A framework of lemon oil, flint, and refreshing salinity lead into a clean, savory finish that complements dishes like grilled fish with thyme and capers.
