Cave des Vignerons de Buxy was founded in Cote Chalonnaise in 1931 by a community of 98 vine growers, who, in the face of the Great Depression, sought to pool resources and formed a cooperative. Actively working together to promote the Côte Chalonnaise from vine to glass, the Vignerons de Buxy winegrowers have been tracing the same, undeviating path for nearly 90 years, guided by three fundamental values: people at the heart of the project, high-quality wines, and innovation and investment driven by sustainable development.
Today, 120 family vineyards make up the co-operative of 2,700 total acres in Southern Burgundy and collectively sell 580,000 cases annually. They take a sustainable approach to winegrowing, pruning in a way that respects sap flows and utilizes cover crops as green fertilizers and treating wood diseases in the vine with sound frequencies that stimulate their reaction to fungi.
Thanks to its local, national and international renown, Cave des Vignerons de Buxy has become the ambassador for the wines of Southern Burgundy. The grouping of the many little family plantings, all inspired by the same values of solidarity, sharing and conviviality, resulted in a brand that represents a human and social endeavor stretching back over 89 years.
