History
La Crotta di Vegneron was founded in 1980 as a growers' cooperative at Chambave, on an idea of Yves Burgay, with about twenty-five members; it began vinifying in 1985 and grew to more than fifty member families. It is best known for the sweet Chambave Muscat Flétri, a dried-grape passito, and for championing the valley's native grapes.
