Created in 1929, the Cave des Grands Crus Blancs first sealed the union of winegrowers from two neighbouring villages: Vinzelles and Loché. The mutualisation approach has enabled these winegrowers to combine their talents and know-how to produce prestigious Burgundy and Beaujolais vintages. Naturally, today this union brings together many other winegrowers from renowned surrounding villages.
