Domaine Servy-Douhay

As the starting point for the Côte Chalonnaise to the south, the village of Sercy boasts a 12th-century château and Burgundian stone houses.

Following the phylloxera epidemic and the ensuing crisis in the Burgundy wine industry, the 150 hectares of vines planted in the commune were uprooted. The current baron decided to sell off the buildings in the village that were used to process his agricultural produce.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Servy family from Sercy acquired a farmhouse belonging to the Château, which had been altered several times and included stables and the château's former lightning cellar.
It is under the vault of this cellar that the Servy family has been making wine for 4 generations, selling to wine merchants in the Côte d'Or. As well as making wine, the more than one hundred-year-old family business also produces Charolais cattle and cereals.

We are linked by our great-grandmother, who looked after her parcel of vines in Les Poiseuils, the first plot of Burgundy Pinot Noir to be developed by the estate.
It was in 2024 that Pauline and Romain decided, following the end of the Charolais and cereals business, to focus on the work carried out in the vines and in this historic site, in order to develop our bottled production.
Everything starts in the vineyard, because of our philosophy and our attachment to our heritage, including plants. We are developing a selection of vines from massal stock in order to preserve this rich plant heritage through our vine replacements and new plantings.
In this continuity, the plant starts from the soil, and the estate, with its 7 hectares of vines, has chosen to make working the soil and managing grass cover central to its development.
Even if we don't have a quality label, the way we manage our vineyards has led us to adopt a virtuous approach to farming, demonstrating good farming sense, where each treatment is carefully thought out and adapted to the weather we depend on.
It is with the desire to reflect our terroir and the places that make up the estate that we accompany the wines with spontaneous vinification, low-intervention ageing and the necessary time adapted to each cuvée.

Pauline and Romain.
