Château de Chasselas

Story of the Château de Chasselas

It was thanks to his family that Jacky wanted to work the vineyard. Born in a family of winemakers for several generations, he learned from his grandfather who passed on his experience, teaching him the work of the vineyard and the art of vinification in the magnificent Land of the Golden Stones, in this luminous land.

In 1999, alongside Jean-Marc Veyron la Croix, they embarked on the adventure of wine in the castle of Chasselas. The two noblemen were moved by their love of wine and vineyard. The castle dating from 1523 went through many eras, it was built by the lords of Chasselas, it was then a relay on the road from Lutèce to Ludgunum. Before Jean Marc and Jacky, the castle knew no winemakers as owners but notables, merchants, soldiers…
