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.

Clear and bright.
Fresh and fragrant, with aromas of fresh grape, lemon and pear, underlined by toasted mineral notes.
Lots of liveliness, a lovely sparkle and great mineral freshness.
The Obrist house has owned this exceptional vineyard since 1896. On the heights of Vevey, the vines, leaning against the south-facing hillsides in the heart of the Chardonne production site, overlook Lake Geneva. 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.
Manual harvest, traditional winemaking, aging in wooden vases.

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.
