A touch ofhistory
In the 1950s, Georges Serveaux was among the few visionaries who believed in the potential of vineyards in the Marne Valley. Without any financial means, he went into debt with a survivor of the First World War, whose pension helped him acquire his first hillside plots. Without really knowing how he would repay his loan, he began clearing the land. In particular, he uprooted a walnut tree, much to the delight of a timber merchant. Once his debt was settled, Georges continued to invest…
His son, Pascal Serveaux, together with his wife Martine Serveaux, carried on Georges’ work for forty years, expanding the vineyard to reach 15 hectares, predominantly planted with Meunier. They also developed the commercial presence of their wines in France and abroad.
Their children, Elodie, Nicolas, and Hugo, have taken over and continue to cultivate the vines and craft the wines with the same passion that inspired Georges and Pascal.
In 2016, modernization work was undertaken on the winery, located next to Georges’ house. The tanks are now all stainless steel and temperature-controlled, ensuring better wine preservation and guaranteeing quality. Part of the wines is also vinified in oak barrels.
