the producer

Tâcherons

Founded in 1994

110 hectares

The name 'Tâcherons' comes from an old Burgundian tradition that refers to the workers in the vineyards who perform the most meticulous tasks through out the year including plowing the field by hand using the Hirondelle plow, or pruning with the shears or 'Cisaille' which prominently feature on the labels.
The reference is an homage to the precision of the hard work from the Tacherons to create their wine, the passion of the vine growers and the ancestral relationship to terroir and history.
