Histoire du domaine
The estate’s origins date back to the 1920s, when Clément Tachot began cultivating a few vines in Chambolle-Musigny. In the 1950s, his daughter Cécile Tachot and her husband Jean Servelle took over the business and established Domaine Servelle-Tachot. Christian Amiot, from a family of winegrowers in Morey-Saint-Denis and husband of Élisabeth Servelle, joined the estate in 1980. Following the death of Jean Servelle in 1989, Christian and Élisabeth took over the estate, which was then renamed Amiot-Servelle. The estate switched its vineyards to organic farming in 2003 and obtained AB certification in 2008. In 2010, it expanded to include around one hectare of family-owned vineyards in Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, notably comprising plots in Clos Saint-Denis and Charmes-Chambertin. Prune Amiot, who graduated with a degree in oenology in 2004, returned to work at the estate in 2011 after gaining several years’ professional experience. Antoine Amiot subsequently joined the business, and the two siblings have since taken over the management of the estate. Prune Amiot is responsible for winemaking. A new cellar and vinification facility, to be used from the 2022 harvest onwards, will allow for greater use of gravity in the winemaking process.
Les Plantes
Les Plantes is an officially recognized climat for the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru denomination, exclusively for red wine. It is located in the central sector of the vineyard, immediately east of the Premier Cru Les Charmes and just below the village. Institutional sources generally describe the Premiers Crus of Chambolle as being on the mid-slope, on clay-limestone soils, but no sufficiently precise pedological or geological characterization of this specific climat alone has been found.

Histoire de la parcelle
The AOC Chambolle-Musigny was recognized in 1936, and the list of climats eligible for the Premier Cru designation was established in 1943. Les Plantes appears in the current official list of authorized climats with this designation. The product specifications place this recognition within a medieval plot organization and the historical hierarchization of Chambolle terroirs in the 18th and 19th centuries, without providing a specific chronology for Les Plantes.
