ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine Servin Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2021 is a 100% Chardonnay from Burgundy, France. The Montée de Tonnerre vineyard is recognized as a premier site within Chablis, often compared to Grand Cru vineyards due to its location and quality. Domaine Servin is one of the oldest wineries in Chablis, established in 1654 and currently managed by the seventh generation of the Servin family alongside winemaker Marc Cameron. The estate possesses significant vineyard holdings across multiple Chablis appellations. The 2021 vintage experienced reduced harvest volumes due to frost, but the wines are characterized by their intensity and distinctiveness, attributed to the region's unique Kimmeridgian soils.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Servin employs hand-harvesting for its Premier Cru wines, ensuring careful selection of grapes. Vinification involves fermentation in larger oak barrels, followed by aging in older 450-liter barrels for a second winter. For new plantings, the estate utilizes uncloned Chardonnay planted at greater density. The overall approach combines traditional methods with modern techniques, guided by a philosophy of respecting the land and expressing the unique terroir of Chablis.
