The origins of the Cacheux estate come from François Blée, who arrived on the scene in Vosne-Romanée in the early 1900s. François launched the domaine, but it was his son Charles who really established the family name in the village, being the régisseur at the Romanée Saint-Vivant estate in Vosne-Romanée, which was then owned by the Marey-Monge family.
In 1966 the estate was divided between the two daughters of Charles and Hélène Blée. The youngest, Jacqueline, married René Cacheux, creating Domaine René Cacheux-Blée.
To add a further twist, Jacqueline’s sister Lucette Blée married René’s brother Jacques Cacheux, and they created Domaine Jacques Cacheux – formerly Jacques Cacheux-Blée or Sirugue!
In 1958 Lucette and Jacques had a son, Patrice, who took over the estate from his father in 1994.
