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: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
