Founded in 1929, the Cave des Grands Crus Blancs began as a union of winegrowers from two neighboring villages: Vinzelles and Loché.
By pooling their talents and know-how, these winegrowers were able to produce prestigious Burgundy and Beaujolais cuvées. It's only natural that this union should now include many other renowned winemakers from neighbouring villages.
