Christophe Ferrari is unusual in that he was not born into a family of winegrowers. So, since 1987, this passionate winegrower has had to redouble his efforts to offer today (alongside his son Nicolas) several Irancy, Chablis, Saint-Bris, crémants and ratafias. Produced with respect for tradition on 26 ha, the quality of the wines and the know-how are the two strengths of this fine domaine. Proof of this are the numerous awards received. In 2024, four wines received awards from the Guide Hachette des vins, including the Saint Bris La Canne 2022 (2 stars).

This very beautiful estate finds its origins as early as 1620 in Irancy. Today, William Charriat exploits on 13 ha the vines of pinot noir and caesar.

William Charriat's precise work gives these wines a generous taste, the vines benefiting from the clay-limestone soil of the region's hillsides. In the end, the irancy here retains a fruity taste, that of the morello cherry that grows in the region.
