We Trust Mother Nature
From A to Z
Bien que légale, nous refusons la pratique du coupage et de l’ouillage avec des vins externes à notre domaine. Même si les volumes sont parfois modestes, nous préservons ainsi notre authenticité et notre identité.
La chaîne de production est entre nos mains, depuis la plantation de la vigne, jusqu’à la commercialisation de la bouteille. La qualité finale du vin que vous trouvez chez nous est bien le résultat de l’attention particulière que nous portons à chacune des étapes qui mènent du raisin au vin.
Chasselas Blanc sur lie
Once widespread, now in short supply, our Chasselas, like most Chasselas in Switzerland, is becoming a Swiss specialty!
Made from Chasselas grapes, after a brief maceration and vertical pressing, it is aged on its lees in oak barrels. This dry and sparkling wine has a strong regional character. Lively and subtle, it reflects well the years from which it comes. A few months of bottle ageing show how favourable the wait is for traditional winemaking methods.
Suitable for aperitif, accompanies starters, fish and all cheese dishes.

Chasselas Blanc sur lie,
non filtré
In order to preserve its original identity, a large part of our Chasselas is bottled without filtration, the "Non-filtered". Its slight cloudiness enhances the fruitiness of its maturation on lees and expresses all the more its local and original character.
Suitable for aperitif, accompanies starters, fish and all cheese dishes.

Chardonnay
Although in a very small proportion, the white Burgundy grape variety, Chardonnay, has been cultivated here for over 50 years. After a short maceration and a vertical pressing, the wine is aged for one year in oak barrels (228 l = barrique). A regular change of the barrel ensures a discreet woody taste which reinforces the typical fruitiness of the grape variety over time.
It is a full-bodied and racy white wine, well typified by our limestone soil, which goes well with starters, sea fish, shellfish, poultry terrines, or hard cheeses.

Pinot Gris
Our Pinot Gris comes from an old local selection of vines that are more than 50 years old. It is found in the best parcels of our estate. Harvested very ripe and then macerated for a few hours to reinforce the colors and aromas, the grapes are pressed in a vertical press. After one year of maturation in oak barrels, a maturation in bottle of one to two years allows this wine to blossom.
Dry, both tender and full-bodied, with a golden amber color, it develops very characteristic quince aromas that go well with asparagus, cold meats, terrines or creamy cheeses.

Perdrix Blanche
The Pinot Noir grape, whose juice is white, is pressed whole, without crushing or maceration. The result is an almost white juice which, after a year of maturation in oak barrels, on the lees, gives this wine a golden color. All the nobility of the grape variety and its finesse blossom after 2 to 3 years of maturation in bottle.
Powerful, dry and full-bodied wine with grilled aromas.
Slightly sparkling, it enhances spicy starters, gratins or other finely spiced hors d'oeuvres.

Flétri
Elaborated in the image of straw wines, this method of natural concentration is the most adapted to the climate of our region.
The Chardonnay and Pinot Gris grapes are carefully arranged on racks to allow good ventilation between the bunches. They then rest in the attic of our house for 3 to 4 months. Thus, according to the winds and the temperature variations of the late autumn until the heart of winter, the berries will naturally and slowly lose the water they contain. The juice will concentrate: we speak of "passerillage". Between mid-January and mid-February, these wilted grapes are pressed. The concentration of the juice thus obtained prevents a complete fermentation: the wine will remain sweet. A sweet wine, aged for one year in oak barrels (228 l), it has the class of its renowned counterparts. With a golden color, a bouquet of honey and candied fruits, its richness in the mouth balances a good acidity and allows it to accompany foie gras or blue cheese... as well as tarte Tatin or chocolate pie!

Lie de Pinot Noir
At the end of the vinification or maturation process, once the wine has been racked or bottled, the lees (sediments) of our Pinot Noir, formed mainly by the fermentation yeasts, are distilled on our own still.
A maturation of 4 to 5 years in 25 to 50 liter bottles (Dame-Jeanne) allows this brandy to acquire its tenderness and to assert its mellow character.

Fruits du verger
We distill ourselves various kinds of fruits from the sixty or so trees in our orchard. We mainly use stone fruits such as plums, prunes, mirabelle plums, but also seeded fruits such as pears and quinces.
These white eaux-de-vie are then matured in large bottles (Dame-Jeanne) for 3 to 5 years before being bottled. This maturation allows them to express all their aromatic finesse.
