Located in the famed Chalone appellation of Monterey, Brosseau is truly one of California’s premier organic vineyards, and it is also one of its most unique. While some vineyards in the state have cool climates, and others have limestone in their soils, very few have both. In 1980, this convergence of climate and geology inspired Jon and Jan Brosseau to plant their iconic vineyard. Tucked into the Gavilan mountain range, east of the Santa Lucia Highlands, Brosseau is a spectacular vineyard for Pinot Noir. It is certified organic, and consistently yields less than 2 tons per acre of dark, exceptionally concentrated fruit. The vineyard’s climate and limestone, decomposed granite and volcanic rock soils also impart a clear minerality to the wines, as well as a firm, tannic backbone. Fulcrum’s blocks of Brosseau include clones Pommard, and 114, which are used in the Brosseau Vineyard Pinot Noir.
