Domaine Servin, Chablis

The first accounts of the Servin family in Chablis can be traced back to 1654 and with over seven generation's of traditional winemaking behind them, the domaine is well known as one of Chablis' leading estate-owned producers.  Today, François Servin manages 32 hectares of vineyards in some of the most famous parcels in Chablis, with the majority of vine age over 35 years old.  The unique terroir of Chablis – rich, old, limestone soil and the continental climate – produces some of the world’s finest Chardonnays.  Servin Chablis has been exported throughout the world since the 1940s and we’re very pleased to have them amongst our portfolio.  Servin’s AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) vineyards extend over the famed Kimmeridgien limestone slopes (a combination of marls, calcareous clay and fossilised seashells, laid down during the upper Jurassic period) on either side of the Serein River.  The continental climate – hot in summer and cold in winter with severe spring frosts – mould the unique character of Chablis wine, young and fresh, with unique mineral flavours, white fruits and floral aromas which become rich, complex and powerful with age.  For François Servin, each wine must find its own identity with an adapted treatment.  He respects the traditions of handpicked grapes for the best crus and specific vinification for each wine, integrating modern winemaking techniques.

Domaine Servin is world renowned and regular receives from prominent wine writers like Stephen Tanzer who scores 85-92 for their various crus, Robert Parker Jr who awarded the ‘Les Pargues’ 91/100 and Allen Meadows at Burghound who rated the current vintage 89 points.
