Discover Burgundy and Lacanche
Renowned for its cuisine and fine wines, Burgundy is the birthplace of such quintessentially French specialties as boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin and escargots. It’s no surprise, then, that this region of superb gastronomy should produce another culinary masterpiece in the Lacanche range.
The village of Lacanche is in the Côte d’Or, one of four departments, or districts, in Burgundy. Like the rest of Burgundy, this area is crisscrossed with canals and dotted with vineyards and small farming villages.

Côte d’Or (literally, golden hill) is located where the waters of four major rivers run in three directions: towards the Mediterranean, the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. With its varied landscape, Cote d’Or produces some of Burgundy’s most prestigious and expensive wines.
Originally an ironworks, the Lacanche company owes its start to 
the iron-rich soil of central France. Today the company retains its rural roots, valuing artistry and fine craftsmanship over mass production.
From its earliest beginnings as an ironworks, Lacanche has remained small enough to create an exquisite product, yet it has earned acclaim from chefs and food-lovers around the world. 
In 1981, André Augagneur, formerly an employee of the company, purchased Lacanche with the idea of building on the foundation of family values, integrity and pride in craftsmanship established at the company’s inception more than a century earlier.
Today, Lacanche employs over 200 workers and the Augagneur family carries on the tradition of ethics and ingenuity that characterize the company.
