A golden color, a nose of peach and citrus with a buttery touch

59% Chasselas, 41% Chardonnay. Six months on the lees, a fraction in barrels. The result is a dry, precise white, with tension and depth—something not necessarily expected from Geneva. That is exactly the point.

In the glass: a luminous golden color. The nose is floral and fruity (white flowers, peach, citrus) with a slight buttery touch brought by the aging. On the palate, the attack is fresh and lively, the mid-palate rich and textured, the finish long and mineral. A gastronomic wine, made to accompany food.

This wine tells a story: that of an underestimated terroir

This wine tells a story: that of an underestimated terroir and a man determined to reveal it.
