Amiot-Servelle

In 1920, Clément Tachot planted a few grapevines on the commune of Chambolle-Musigny, in the Burgundy region, and began making his own wine. The unassuming estate didn't have an official name back then. Later on, his daughter Cécile Tachot inherited the vineyard, which she started exploiting as well, with the help of her husband Jean Servelle. Together, they founded the Domaine Servelle-Tachot, in the 1950's.

After a few years, Élisabeth Servelle, the daughter of Cécile and Jean, came to help her parents take care of the family business, with her husband Christian Amiot (son of famous Morey-Saint-Denis winemaker, Pierre Amiot), in 1980. When Jean died, Élisabeth and Christian became the new owners of the Domaine Servelle-Tachot, which they naturally renamed "Amiot-Servelle". Their three children, Violette, Prune and Antoine, all supported their parents in the estate at some point. Prune and Antoine have even become the new managers of the 8 hectares estate, in 2011. They work on some prestigious wine appellations, such as the Amoureuses Grand Cru and the Clos Saint-Denis.

The Domaine Amiot-Servelle has been 100% organic since 2003. They received an official certification in 2008. Such a transition was quite natural for the owners, as Christian's philosophy was already very close to many current organic agriculture methods (sustainable agriculture, no more chemical pesticides…) This Côte de Nuits wine estate is actually one of the very few organic estates you'll find in Chambolle-Musigny.
