Degustation The very personal style of Domaine Bovard is affirmed in this cuvée born from an original blend of Pinot Noir (80%) and Merlot (20%). Aiming for the freshness and purity of the fruit, yields of less than 50 hectolitres per hectare. The success translates into a wine of light seduction, with a fleshy fruit of delicate sensuality, a great elegance of texture, full of charm and spirit. Aromas of blackberries and cherries. Round and full on the palate. Silky and well-balanced tannins.
Aeging 5 years.

The winery 
Louis-Philippe Bovard – whose name is in its 10th generation – took the helm of his family’s 13-hectare estate in 1983. He is a pioneer in the field and is responsible, among other things, for the introduction of new grape varieties (Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah), the maturing of Chasselas in barrels, the creation of the Conservatoire Mondial du Chasselas (with the aim of researching older, more qualitative selections) and the creation of an important collection of old Dézaley vintages. The estate has been awarded the highest distinctions. It is one of the icons of Swiss wine and enjoys international recognition.
