The 2009 official wine results are in, from the federal agricultural station Changins, near Nyon, and the news […]

A magnificent year, with sunshine in our 2009 wine bottles

06/10/2009 by Ellen Wallace

Terroir: getting down and dirty in Féchy

16/06/2009 by Ellen Wallace

Soil is not just soil, believe me. Friday 12 June I had a chance to see something we normally only get to read about: the soil under the grapevines, one of the most basic elements of terroir.
