"Made from old vines this is produced from the typical Jurassic gravel/marne soils, in this instance blue marne. This is fresh and energetic in style, has the mouthwatering acidity and volume that Francois wines are know well known for - very complete even as a young wine." - Andrew Guard

François first became interested in wine growing up in Burgundy where his father was a micro-biologist for the Hospices de Beaune. Childhood trips were spent in the Jura getting to know and falling in love with a parcel of family vines which he would later vinify with his father, belonging to his grandfather. After earning an oenology degree he returned to his Jura roots and in 2006 launched his winery. A highly sought-after cult producer.
