Parcelle Interdite is a Sauvignon Blanc from a 0.82-hectare plot between Puligny and Chassagne in Burgundy. Armand planted the long-fallow parcel in 2018, taking advantage of a change in planting rules. His choice of Sauvignon Blanc drew objections from local winegrowers’ unions and appellation representatives, inspiring the name Parcelle Interdite, or “forbidden parcel.” The vines grow in clay-limestone soil rich in organic matter. The wine matures for eight months and is bottled as Vin de France. It can be cellared for two to three years and is best served at 10–12°C.
