More information
Once a Premier Cru vineyard itself, Les Pargues sits between other Premiers Crus Montmains and Vaillons, the Chablis from which sets you back up to £30 a bottle. The difference is Les Pargues had to be abandoned during World War I, so was declassified. In the 1950s the Servin family began to restore the vineyard and now, with their meticulous care, the 50-year-old vines deliver wine of impressive concentration. Only local politics prevent Les Pargues from being re-instated to its rightful status. Seventh generation custodian François Servin now lavishes Premier Cru attention on Les Pargues, ensuring wine with the honeyed minerality of great Chablis. This fine white is superb with oysters or adds a touch of class to your fish and chips.
