Discover the grape variety: Garanoir

Supple and fruity reds with a purple colour and melted tannins, on aromas of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, sweet spices and floral notes. Round palate, fresh finish, more tender and approachable young than its sibling Gamaret. Vinified as a thirst-quenching single variety and in modern red blends with Gamaret, Gamay and Pinot Noir in Swiss Romandy (Vaud, Geneva, Valais). A cross of Gamay × Reichensteiner created in 1970 at the Pully station, same lineage as Gamaret.

The wine region of La Côte

Largest Vaud wine appellation (52% of the canton), 2,007 ha arcing around Lake Geneva between Geneva and Lausanne. Signature Chasselas (90% of the traditional vineyard): lively, fruity whites with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, fresh almond and gunflint, taut, mineral palate — the Swiss aperitif wine par excellence. Also fine silky Pinot Noir, fruity Gamay in red. 14 AOC villages including Fechy, Mont-sur-Rolle, Luins.

The wine region of Vaud

World reference for Chasselas (~60% of the vineyard). Mineral, delicate whites with signature notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a saline touch, low acidity and a silky palate. Maximum expression in Lavaux (UNESCO 2007) on Lake Geneva terraces. Also La Côte, Chablais and the iconic Dézaley.

The word of the wine: Broker

In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
