Reserve individuelle refers to what?

• A. A type of yeast strain
• B. An additional authorized quantity of harvested (or purchased) fruit for reserve programs
• C. A regulation about sugar content
• D. A special aging technique

Answer: (B)

Reserve individuelle is about what a producer can do to safeguard fruit for future blending. It refers to an additional authorized quantity of harvested (or purchased) fruit that is set aside in reserve programs. This extra fruit isn’t used in the current blend; it’s kept for later vintages or for future blending needs, helping manage vintage variability and maintain a consistent house style. It’s not related to yeast strains, sugar-content regulations, or aging techniques, which is why the description of reserving additional fruit for future use is the correct match.
