The Verret family has been cultivating vines in the Yonne region of Burgundy for 250 years. This wine region, which includes on the one hand the Grand Auxerrois, which includes the vineyards of the Yonne and on the other hand, the vineyards of Chablis, covered nearly 40,000 hectares in the middle of the 19th century and was then the leading French wine-producing region. Phylloxera then destroyed the entire vineyard and many winegrowers abandoned the vines.

Nevertheless, some persisted and decided to rebuild their vineyards, such as the Verret family. In 1958, Georges and Josiane Verret began to add value to their production by selling it in bottles, a real revolution when almost all the winegrowers of the Yonne were then selling their wines in bulk to merchants. Viticulture then took up more and more space in the farm and livestock, cereal cultivation and cherries were abandoned in favour of viticulture alone.

The Verret family now cultivates 57 hectares of vines and 3 generations work on the estate.
