Early in the 20th century, Eugene BARONNAT, was a Beaujolais wine-grower at Gleize At that time he started selling his wine in the region. He was so successful that, very soon, his own wine was not enough, so he bought wine from other producers to sell it to his customers : the ''Maison BARONNAT'' was founded. In this way he developed his business for over twenty years, until the second world war.
