The vineyard, the grape varieties
Man of the earth that I am and from which I come, our land is my first concern. Our vineyard, surrounding the estate house, extends on a little more than 2 hectares.
Grown for over ten years without herbicides, insecticides, or mineral fertilizers, our plots of land benefit from a rich fauna and flora in which the vine finds a privileged place. In fact, the experience gained over the last ten years shows that it is entirely possible to take care of everyone for the benefit of all.
Harmony and balance are difficult to manage or even attain, but it is important to choose this path- path which also supports the diversification of cultivated grapes. Today ten varieties flourish, among which the traditional Chasselas retains an elite place
Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Marsanne complement our palette of white varieties in an original way. Red grape varieties appreciate our location and altitude.
The Pinot Noir and the Gamay were the first reds to settle here, giving birth to our Charmillon cuvée, in 1962.
Then came Plant-Robert, Gamaret, Garanoir, Syrah and Merlot.
All have their homes in our parcels according to the nature of each’s soil.
