The name of the CHERRIER family has been attached to the vineyard of SANCERRE since 1848, and Maurice CHERRIER, who ran an advance guard policy using techniques still advocated nowadays, created the Domain in 1927.

 

In the sixties his son Pierre CHERRIER took over the domain, which he gave a new dynamism too, by extending it and enlarging the wine storehouses.

 

At the start 1980 after studies at the Lycée Viticole in BEAUNE (Burgundy), François and Jean-Marie, two sons Pierre’s came to the domain and carried on the effort undertaken for wine quality (de-budding, control of the vigour, thermoregulation…).

 

Since 2000, they decide to practice vine-growing nearest of the nature, taking care to consume the less possible energy to produce (combined work, no more fattening food, suppression of the product helping the wine-making, etc).
