In 1997 La Boissonneuse vineyard discovered a simple, fragile world, and an awareness of plants in their environment. In 2002, they obtained certification in biodynamic agriculture for the first place, “Chablis La Boisonneuse”. The flavors and aromas of the wines were reassuring and respected the promise of the plants’ balance, between the soil and the fruit. These observations encouraged us to continue to explore this philosophy. 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.
For the production of the wines, they prefer to use wooden vats, for their natural, organic character. They take a non-interventionist approach to vinification, which aims to reveal our wines’ true character without any distortion. All the bottles are sealed with wax, stamped by hand, wrapped in tissue paper, and placed in a box designed especially for this range that holds seven bottles.
