Wine growing estate is perched on top of the hills in the village of Yens, in the Morges district, enjoying sweeping views over Lake Geneva and the Alps. Our vineyard spreads over 8 hectares, and is a member of the “Vins de Morges” league, which is enlisted in the AOC denomination “La Cote”. Our “semi-high” vines are planted with an environmental concern, according to the principles and norms of “integrated production”, and following the “Vinatura” specification. All our wines are produced on our own estate. They are bottled and aged in our cellars. They all qualify for the “Grand Cru” label which certifies the origin and quality of the grapes.

Randomly stopped here after a visit to a nearby castle. With no prior notice, received a quick tour and wine tasting. Grapes grown fermented and aged on the grounds. Limited open hours but worth a visit if the time works out. French is the primary language so if you don't speak it, plan to use a translation app (lol, I did w no problems) :)
