Did you know ? 

The soil in Epesses is clayey and tends to slide over the rock. When winemakers of yesteryear returned to their vines in spring they noticed that the walls looked different. Unable to explain this geological phenomenon, they attributed it to the devil, who they accused of disturbing the earth.

At the cellar

After the wine is pressed, it undergoes its secondary (malolactic) fermentation. It is then matured half in barrel, half in tank, with pumping over of the lees to add fullness and mouth feel. Each grape variety is matured separately for 12 to 15 months in the cellar before blending.

Notes

Garnet hues and a fruity nose with notes of black cherry. The wine’s subtle vanilla aftertaste provides this lightly spiced wine with perfect balance and range. A supple, soft and rich red with soft tannins.

Pairing

- Red and white meat
- Mediterranean cuisine
- Cheese platter

Gamaret and Garanoir were created by Agroscope RAC Changins, the Swiss federal agricultural research institute in 1970. They are a cross between Gamay and Reichensteiner.

Notes

A racy, fleshy and powerful wine with a long finish and a beautifully expressed smoky taste! On the nose it reveals honey, almond and toast aromas. Once mature, it expresses the full range of its complex tertiary aromas.

Pairing

- Aperitif for special occasions
- Lake and sea fish
- Platters of cheese, especially Gruyère Caramel and Vacherin Mont d’Or
