A company can only create its identity over a period of time, together with those who work there, and with the help of their know-how. It was in this spirit that I founded CHÊNE & Cie. The company’s first task was to put together all the links in the chain required to achieve our ambition: to be the benchmark in cooperage for the best wines in the world.
