Jacques Cacheux is a very discreet family winery that has now entered its fifth generation. The family has been farming in the village of Vosne-Romanée since early times. In 1958, the third generation, Jacques Cacheux, took over and began changing the tradition of selling grapes to merchants or other wineries. Jacques Cacheux was a close friend of Burgundy wine legend Henri Jayer. In 1966, Jacques married Lucette Blee, the third generation heiress of the Blee family in the same village, who also inherited vineyards, leading to the expansion of the estate.

After taking over the management of the winery, Jacques started producing and bottling his own wines, influenced by Henri Jayer. He used cold maceration and selected suitable oak barrels for aging. Although he leaned towards traditional methods in vineyard management, the most significant decision was made in 1991 when they started bottling without filtering or fining. When Robert Parker first visited the winery for inspiration for his book, he was deeply intrigued by this practice, reflecting the true essence of oak barrels without compromise.

In 1994, Jacques retired and passed the baton to his son, Patrice, who immediately implemented new policies. These included reducing the use of herbicides and pesticides, promoting biodynamic practices, destemming 100% of the grapes, cold soaking before fermentation, and using native yeast for fermentation. The premier and grand cru vineyards started using 100% new oak barrels.
