Tonnellerie Cavin
EVERYTHING ALWAYS BEGINS WITH LOVE, PIERRE CAVIN,
A lover of the land and forests of Châtillonnais, Charles Cavin discovered wine through a love story—his marriage to Anne-Marie Jayer. By her side, and alongside his father-in-law Robert Jayer, cousin of the illustrious Henri Jayer—the «Master of Pinot Noir»—Charles developed a deep passion for wine and the art of barrel aging.
Just as the harmonious union between vine and wood gives birth to the greatest wines, Charles decided to dedicate his life to this delicate balance. After several decades of experience, from working in stave mills to managing a cooperage in Grenoble, he founded Tonnellerie Cavin in the heart of his native Burgundy. Drawing from the 84,000 hectares of the Châtillonnais forest, he carefully selects oak trees to craft barrels that embody excellence.
Today, Pierre Cavin, Charles' son and a trained oenologist, runs the cooperage with passion and ambition. After studying viticulture in Beaune and gaining years of experience within the family business, Pierre has committed himself to preserving the family legacy while modernizing the company. Supported by dedicated and passionate teams, he is firmly focused on the future, ready to write the next chapters of this beautiful story—always in the service of the finest wines.
