The wine region of Genève
Switzerland's 3rd wine canton, a modern and diverse expression. Fleshy Gamay as the signature red: fruity and crunchy with notes of cherry, raspberry and sweet spices, supple tannins. Fine Pinot Noir (undergrowth, red fruits), spicy, dense Gamaret, deep Garanoir. Whites: historic Chasselas (mineral and floral), ample Chardonnay (pear, brioche), round Pinot Blanc.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
