From the limestone-rich vineyards of the Jura, Les Servivants Chardonnay from Domaine Ganevat is a wine of purity, tension and remarkable character. Notes of citrus, green apple and white flowers are layered with subtle nutty complexity and a pronounced mineral edge, leading into a textured, medium bodied palate with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish. Precise and expressive, it pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, creamy dishes or Comté cheese.

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.
