Description

The Cuvée du Professeur is Savagnin from Sous Roche, the lieu-dit directly beneath the great rock of Château-Chalon and the village’s best-known and most prestigious site. It is named after François’s father, who owns these vines and was a professor at the University of Dijon.Although the site entitles the wine to the Château-Chalon appellation, that would require ageing it under the voile for years. François tops up the barrels instead, so it is labelled Côtes du Jura. It is effectively a topped-up Château-Chalon, which makes it the clearest illustration of what he is known for.
