Les Pargues is a Chablis lieu-dit situated on a ridge between the Montmains and Vosgros Premiers Crus. It has the same exposure as Vaillons and Montmains, so it’s a very handy site. The story goes that it was originally classified as a 1er Cru vineyard (pre-AOC), before being largely abandoned during the war, when there was a labour shortage. This meant that when the AOC was formed it missed out on the status it deserved. Regardless of the accuracy of this story, locals rightly speak very highly of this site: the position and thin, stony soils give a wine that’s intense and mineral.
