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: Astringency

Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
