Description

White Wine – 100% ‘Chardonnay’

Domaine Servin Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2023 is a prestigious and expressive Chablis from one of Burgundy’s most renowned Grand Cru vineyards. This cuvée perfectly captures the essence of the Chablis region – minerality, elegance, and depth – shaped by the unique Kimmeridgian soils and over 40-year-old vines.

In the glass, it reveals a rich golden hue with greenish-grey reflections. The nose offers ripe white fruits, citrus, subtle vanilla spice, and a delicate hint of oak. On the palate, it is rich, elegant, and complex, layered with flavors of dried apple, lime zest, and honey. Perfectly balanced, with vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish – a truly classic expression of Chablis.

The grapes are grown on south/southwest-facing slopes in clay-limestone vineyards with Kimmeridgian marl rich in fossilized seashells. This terroir imparts exceptional freshness, structure, and distinctive character to the wine.

Fermentation and 15 months of ageing in French oak barrels ensure refined texture and aromatic complexity.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 10-12 °C with snails, oysters, shellfish, fatty fish, and poultry dishes. Suitable as an aperitif.

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.

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.
