ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The history of Domaine des Chers began in 1956, when Henri Briday, then a wine merchant, invested in a beautiful 18th century building. His son Jacques continued his father's work from 1986, developing direct sales in particular and initiating the "Vielles vignes" cuvée. In 2009, after eight years of studying wine between Macon and Paris, Arnaud took over the estate, keeping his father's legacy. This alliance between modernity and tradition serves a single objective: to produce high quality wines.
