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 Note: Sleek, wonderful balance, with green apple and fuji apple, juicy pear, bright floral, chipped chalky stones, backed up with crisp acidity and a nice streak of minerality. Med/med+ body, med+ palate intensity and finish. A notch above textbook AOC Chablis.
