A cooperative winery founded in 1929 in the heart of the La Côte region on the north shore of Lake Geneva.

The cooperative has moved steadily toward organic viticulture.
- FARMING: Practicing Organic
- VARIETY: Chasselas
- TERROIR: La Côte, Vaud, Switzerland. Vineyards sit between Lake Geneva to the south and the Jura mountains to the north, which shelter them from wind. The lake moderates temperatures.
- VINIFICATION: Gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve fresh fruit and minerality.
- TASTING NOTES: Floral aromas of white peach and lime blossom, with a mineral edge. The palate is crisp and fresh, with white fruit and pineapple notes. A light, lively effervescence gives it a smooth, bubbly acidity.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: An aperitif wine, suited to afternoon drinking or before dinner. Pairs with light tapas, charcuterie and melon with prosciutto. The Swiss importer copy also suggests fondue and raclette.
