Lively & Mineral

Cure d'Attalens 2017

White wine | Chardonnay Grand Cru, Lavaux AOC

One keyword: drinkability
The 2017 vintage was complicated in many regions, but not along Lake Geneva! La Cure is particularly fresh, crisp, full of citrus, grape and pear, well accompanied by the minerality of the terroir. Still very young, this lively white wine goes down all by itself, but if you have the patience, it will benefit from developing in the cellar.

The estate is subject to visits by the Confrérie des Vignerons de Vevey, which has repeatedly awarded winegrowers working this favorite land with gravelly and semi-limestone soils.

Cure d’Attalens

La Cure d'Attalens has a very long tradition of vine cultivation. Its eventful and rich history has been closely linked to that of Obrist for more than a century, since it was the first renowned wine estate acquired by the Vevey house in 1896. The terraced vines are pampered by winegrowers - let’s work – and winemaker-task! – distinguished at the Fête des Vignerons.
