The wine's vibrant acidity and minerality cut through the richness of seafood and creamy sauces, while its subtle fruit notes complement delicate flavors. The taut structure provides a refreshing contrast to richer dishes.

## Wine making process

Domaine Servin employs a range of winemaking techniques tailored to each cuvée. Grapes are hand-harvested, with low yields encouraged from old vines. Fermentation may occur in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity or in used oak barrels for Premier and Grand Cru wines, contributing to texture and complexity. Aging often involves time on lees to enhance mouthfeel. Sustainable farming practices are utilized, with a focus on minimizing chemical intervention in the vineyards.
