Tasting Notes

WA93

Proprietor Francois Servin opines that it is closer in style to the wines of his father than are other cuvees here today. Barrel-fermented and bottled in December the Servin 2008 Chablis Les Clos combines the glycerin-rich, oily concentration of the corresponding Bouguerots with a more effusive sense of sweet corn with citrus and pit fruit, accented by herbs and fruit pit and citrus rind bitterness. A somewhat distilled fruit-like aura of high-toned esters wafts throughout; and an amalgam of white pepper and crushed chalk lend tactile counterpoint in a dynamically long-lingering finish. Overnight, this took on a veritably vibratory sense of grip and interactive complexity yet at the same time gained palate richness. This is very much a grand cru to cellar for a few years, and I would anticipate its rewarding following for 8-10.
