Why it matters
The producer
Family traces in Chablis reach back to 1654, with more than seven generations of winemakers behind the domaine. Domaine Servin works with Chardonnay, the grape behind Chablis, across appellation, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines. Some wines are vinified in oak barrels, while others go into stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The vineyards rest on Kimmeridgian marl, a ground of limestone and clay. Limestone drains excess water, while clay holds moisture around the roots. Chardonnay from this soil keeps a fresh profile, and stainless steel helps preserve that quality during vinification.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range moves from Chablis Domaine Servin to Chablis Premier Cru Domaine Servin Montée de Tonnerre and Domaine Servin Chablis Grand Cru Bougros. All are white Chardonnay wines. Bougros finishes with almond and white chocolate notes, giving the Grand Cru bottle a distinct place within the range.
