DOMÄNE SERRIG was founded in 1904 as a royal Prussian state domain in the Saar Valley; one of the largest and most avant-garde state domains of its time. The domain was privatized in the late 1980s and later taken over by Markus Molitor in 2016.

Only then did the domain benefit from extensive recultivation and restructuring of the site. The name of the vineyard is Volgelsang, a monopole of 25 hectares of unique quality, located on the south/southwest, with vines rising steeply from 150 to 340 meters on reddish shale soils and slopes up to 105%. Purist winemaking with grapes harvested and selected by hand, skin maceration (to reduce acidity), pressed by a traditional basket, natural spontaneous fermentation, maturation on the lees for 10 months in large Stockinger (Austrian) barrels (3,000 l) and then another 2 years of bottle aging before release. This topper (as well as the Cabinet of Serrig) are distributed by Place du Bordeaux to the official wine merchant
