François graduated from the famous enology school in Beaune, France. After school, he cut his teeth by working at Domaine Bruno Clair. François took over his father’s winery not too long ago and has been turning heads everywhere, first in France and now here. He is one of the first to pick the grapes in Sancerre. Counterintuitively, the wine doesn’t have the green pepper notes that one would expect from wines harvested so early. It's difficult to understand how he does it, but the wine finds such a perfect balance of power, beauty and finesse.

Tasting Notes
The nose reveals notes of apple and sweet papaya. The palate reveals a beautiful texture, a little minerality and elegance. In the mouth it expresses notes of sweet lemon, tangerine and fresh pineapple associated with some apple notes. Good length.
