The known origins of Domaine de la Rochelle date back to the 18th century. Bought in 1701, it was part of the Seigneurie de Chénas. In 1874, the estate belonged to the Sparre family, one of Sweden’s most illustrious houses whose ancestors played a part in the great history of France in the 19th century.
Cru Chénas will soon be part of the estate.
