Domaine Servin, Chablis Sélection Massale Vieilles Vignes (2022) 1.5L

Producer: Domaine ServinRegion: Burgundy, FranceVarietals: 100% ChardonnayViticulture: TraditionalCategory: White WineSize: 1500ml/ 1.5L 90-92 Vinous: "The 2021 Chablis Vieilles Vignes Massale is 100% fermented and aged in used barrels for up to 24 months. It has a touch of beeswax on the nose, veering into yellow fruit. The palate is well-balanced thanks to a fine spine of acidity, with more tension than the Chablis Village and a prickle of spice on the finish. Worth seeking out- very fine.” A note on viticulture: Being located in Chablis, which pretty much is the northern limit for the chardonnay grape, Servin feels that organic wine-growing is too risky. Still, he’s paying more attention to nature today, using less chemicals, than before. "I’m not ready yet for organic wine-growing, he says. If something goes wrong you can’t save the harvest."
