Estate-owner, François Servin – one of the more flamboyant winegrowers in Chablis – and Australian-born winemaker Marc Cameron, is on a qualitative hot streak; three consecutive vintages of the best juice I’ve tasted here.
With parcels of the oldest vines comprising most of their holdings, Wine Advocate in particular insists,
“They deserve a berth in your cellar alongside those prized Raveneaus and Dauvissats.”
Tasting the line-up, I get it. You will, too. Acidities are perfectly balanced with the fruit, but more importantly, the “Chablis” spirit is here – in buckets. What I seek, foremost – my beloved Kimmeridjian vein of salinity – weaves its way throughout François Servin’s selections.
In particular, the 2014 Le Clos is – in a word – smashing!

And, as always, the very old-vine Selection Massale is a killer value, made all the more irresistible by a consumer-friendly 2015 growing season.

Double that for the thoroughly terroir-driven 2015 Mont de Milieu, tops on my personal shopping list.

Not skipping a beat, the team rolled right into 2016 with a lip-smacking Vaillons brimming with fruit, all wrapped nicely in Kimmeridjian complexity.
