Coming from a family of Vergisson wine makers in the Mâcon region, Roger Lassarat struck off on his own in 1969 with 3 hectares.

Vergisson is a small, typically Mâcon village, planted between the Vergisson rocks and Solutré, 10 km west of Mâcon.

Bit by bit, the domain has increased in size and now includes a little more than 16 hectares.
