Members of the Chapoutier family have been working in the Rhône Valley since 1808. Their
ancestor, Polydor Chapoutier, was the first to buy vines there, shifting from being a simple grape grower to making and trading his own
wine. The pioneering spirit was already part of the family tradition.Seven generations later we encounter Michel Chapoutier with a real
passion for the expression of soils, a vigneron with vision while respecting history and traditions.
Shared with loved ones or simply enjoyed as a special snack, Fromager d’Affinois cheeses
are crowd pleasing cheeses for every board. Their signature? An extra creamy texture and a one-of-a-kind taste!
Fromager d'Affinois cheeses are premium-quality produce that showcase the unique flavours of France. Their cheeses are crafted
with the finest ingredients and a unique approach to cheese making that has been perfected over generations.
Their extensive range of cheeses is still exclusively crafted in their dairies in the Rhone Alpes region. Long winding roads lead to the
village of Pélussin where the historical creamery is nestled in the green hillsides of the Rhone valley. A scenic drive a little north head
to Belley creamery, surrounded by the snow-capped mountains of the foothills of the French Alps.Partners in wine with Chapoutier
