Summary
This estate has holdings in four Grand Cru and five Premier Cru vineyards. It is now run by Francois Servin who is the first Servin in the family to not be named Marcel in five generations, tradition is something the family has taken seriously. However, Francois, along with his Australian brother-in-law Mark Cameron, have been making changes at the estate. They have replanted new vineyards at a density of 8,000 to 9,000 vines per hectare, use only sélection massale vines for replanting, and started pruning to single Guyotas opposed to double. About one-third of the estate’s holdings are on one stretch of land named Les Pargues. It lies between Montmains and Vosgros. It was devastated by phylloxera and at the time of the Premier Crudesignation of 1967 it was still in the process of being replanted.
Style & Vinification Techniques
All of the Grands Crus, the Forêts, and their Chablis Sélection Massale are hand-harvested. Most wines are fermented in stainless steel. For the Bougros and Les Closthe fermentation and aging is in wood barrels (aged from 3-9 years old). The Vaillons and Sélection Massale Chablis also see aging in wood. Most of the top wines go through malolactic fermentation.
