- Background
- The grapes are from the Pargues vineyard, formerly classified Premier Cru, but not being worked when reclassification was done following WWII. Stainless steel fermented, with 100% malolactic completed. It’s basically Premier Cru quality at a village-level price. Since this is Francois’ personal, entry-level wine, we nickname it “Special Reserve”.
- Tasting Notes
- Wonderful balance, with bright floral, green apple and tropical fruit notes, backed up with crisp acidity and a nice streak of minerality. Textbook Chabis.
