Description: Francine Bachelier and her husband, Olivier Savary, own a small, highly-regarded estate in Maligny, which lies at the northern edge of the Grand Cru Chablis vineyards. Olivier markets his wine as Domaine Savary, while Francine makes limited selections in the cellar for the wines of her own label. While they own vines in the great Premier Cru vineyards of, “Fourchaume” and the “Vaillons,” their specialty
here is top-quality village Chablis. Bachelier village Chablis is a traditional, un-oaked Chablis that aptly reflects the classic style of the Chablis appellation and the chalky terroir of Maligny. This means a glass of bright, shimmering green-yellow wine that offers an ethereal fragrance, a mouthful of racy, flinty flavors, and a long, mineral finish. “Reserve du Sanglier” refers to the wild boars that descend from the nearby forests to invade the vineyards, much to the chagrin of the local vigneron (wine grower).
Food pairing: Avocado, butter sauce, white meats (grilled or roasted), fish, fried foods, mussels, raw bar, poached salmon, shellfish, vegetarian dishes, etc.
