Description

Uncover the extraordinary secret of the Chablis Premier Cru "Vaillons" vineyard! This wine is more than just a drink; it's a journey to the heart of classic Chablis, where every drop speaks of the purest terroir expression and the secrets of winemaking committed to exceptional quality. This is an investment in an experience that's hard to find elsewhere.

The wine boasts a rather intense aroma, hinting at peaches, ripe amber apples, pears, and white flowers. The flint dominating the vineyard's soil enriches the wine's aroma with smoky notes, adding extra complexity.

On the palate, this wine is dry, with intense and exceptionally smooth acidity, medium body, bright flavor, and a long finish. It offers excellent balance and serves as an outstanding example of the "Vaillons" vineyard, allowing you to experience the true face of Chablis Premier Cru.

This wine is produced by one of the few Chablis estates that make all their wine exclusively from their own vineyards, never selling grapes or wine to négociants (wine merchants). This ensures impeccable consistency and quality. The grapes come from old vines grown on a specific soil mix that gives the wine its characteristic "steely" and flinty edge, for which Chablis is so famous. The "Vaillons" Premier Cru plot, from which the grapes are sourced, spans 2.5 hectares and includes vineyards like Vaillons proper, Roncières, Séchet, Châtains, and Epinottes.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 10-12 °C with seafood, oysters, flounder or halibut cream sauce.

About brand

Domaine Servin, located in the heart of the Chablis region, boasts a profound history dating back to 1654. From the very beginning, the Servin family has been dedicated to grape growing and winemaking, nurturing the land and perfecting the secrets of this noble craft. Today, the estate owns 32 hectares of vineyards, a significant portion of which are situated in prestigious Premier Cru and Grand Cru plots. Under the leadership of François Servin, the quality of the winery's wines consistently improves each year. He has not only replanted vines with a significantly higher density than is common in the region but has also achieved exceptional grape concentration. In the best plots owned by Domaine Servin, grapes are harvested only by hand, emphasizing precision and attention to detail. François strives to blend traditional and modern winemaking methods, utilizing stainless steel fermentation tanks, yet a portion of his wines carries a subtle "touch" of oak, while almost all Grand Cru wines are fermented in oak barrels.

Wine Style

Domaine Servin's wines are characterized by exceptional balance, being pleasant both in their youth and when mature.

  • White wines – display clear minerality, a full texture, an expressive, pure aroma, and perfectly integrated oak character. They feature refreshing yellow fruit notes intertwined with subtle smoky accents, imparted by the region's Kimmeridgian marl and clayey limestone soils, where 'Chardonnay' grapes thrive.

Prestigious Vineyards

The winery owns prestigious vineyards, acquired over centuries, emphasizing their deep connection to Chablis' terroir. Among them, the following stand out:

  • Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons – renowned for its flinty, steely character and long finish.
  • Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos – an appellation famous for its power, complexity, and longevity.
  • Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot – elegant and aromatic, characterized by subtle minerality and floral notes.
  • Chablis Grand Cru Preuses – famous for its softness, roundness, and subtle nutty and honey accents.
  • Chablis Grand Cru Bougros – distinguished by its richness, power, and long finish.
  • In addition to these exceptional plots, Domaine Servin also cultivates other excellent Village level vineyards, contributing to their diverse range and quality.

Aging and Drinking Period

One of the greatest advantages of Domaine Servin's wines is their style, which allows them to be enjoyed even in their youth. They are perfectly balanced and delicious immediately, yet they also possess the potential to successfully mature and evolve over time, revealing even more depth and complexity.
