Both Christiane and Alain Robert were born in Chançay, in families of farmers and winegrowers. They founded their own estate in 1973. At the time, they grew 2 hectares of vineyard, a precious family inheritance. Since the 1970s, the surface area of the vineyard, the rock-hewn cellar and the technical facilities have gradually been expanded and improved. In 2000 their son Cyril, enriched by experiences in the Champagne and Anjou vineyards, joined the estate to assist his father, while bringing his personal touch to the development of the vineyard and to the wine production. At the end of 2013 Catherine, Cyril’s sister, also decided to continue the family history by joining the company after 10 years spent working on the left bank of the Loire.
