Château de Châtagneréaz
The rich history of this exemplary estate began long ago, before the year 1000, in the chestnut tree forests of La Côte. The Chasselas grape, planted as the vast majority grape variety on this terroir, birthed a 1er Grand Cru, the highest classification of Vaud wines. Today, head winemaker Tony Heubi passionately continues the tradition of excellence at Château de Châtagneréaz.
