The Cherrier family, better known for their Sancerre wine, have been producing wines in that region since 1848. The current-day owners of Domaine du Loriot, Francois and Jean-Marie Cherrier, studied in Burgundy and returned to the family property in the early 1980s. In 1985, the winery was updated and vineyards were added to the estate.
