Built in 1559, the château and 7 ha of vines came into the family in 1603, when Pierre II Chambrier bought them. For more than 4 centuries, Château d'Auvernier, in perfect harmony with its vineyards, has been striving to uphold the reputation of Neuchâtel wines.
Since 1823, it has been the women who have carried on the Chambrier bloodline through their marriages: Sandoz-Rollin, Pourtalès, Montmollin ... Grosjean.
The history of the Neuchâtel region, which has been free of conflict since 1296, the recurrent economic difficulties of the wine market over the centuries, and above all a great deal of generosity, selflessness and sometimes sacrifice, have all contributed to its survival.
Since January 1, 2022, the 15th generation, represented by Henry, has taken over the reins of the estate from his father, Thierry Grosjean.
