Description

This Domaine Servin Chablis wine is crafted for wine enthusiasts who wish to savor a concentrated and fruity taste along with the expressive freshness derived from old ‘Chardonnay’ vines.

The wine features bright aromas of apple, stone fruit, and ripe tropical fruits. On the palate, a complex stone fruit flavor is beautifully complemented by an exceptionally well-balanced sensation of acidity. This is followed by a long, mineral finish.

The ‘Chardonnay’ grapes for this wine are hand-picked from the 1.92-hectare Les Pargues vineyard. Only the yield from old, non-cloned vines is used. Sixty years ago, Domaine Servin replanted this historic vineyard using the massale selection method (propagating the best old vines). These mature vines yield little, but offer intensely concentrated fruit. The vineyard is dominated by limestone and clay soils with a distinct influence of Kimmeridgian limestone.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 10-12 °C with salmon salad, oily fish dishes or 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.

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.

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.
