Domaine de Autecour Premier Grand Cru

White wine | Mont-sur-Rolle, La Côte AOC

An emblem of the Canton of Vaud!
Chasselas reigns supreme on the magnificent Domaine de Autecour. Raised to the rank of Premier Grand Cru from the 2011 vintage, this white wine shines brightly, having already been elected honorary wine of the Vaud Council of State several times! His little secret? Aging on lees in oak barrels, which gives it roundness and complexity, with flavors of mirabelle plum and roasted hazelnuts.

Domaine de Autecour Premier Grand Cru

CHF 17.00 (75cl)

Colour

Deep yellow with silver highlights.

Nose

Intense, fruity with notes of peach, prune and mirabelle plum. A minerality wonderfully completes the bouquet of the wine.

Palate

Lively attack followed by a beautifully rounded mid-palate with a smooth finish. This Premier Grand Cru is characterized by its persistence.

Wine-growing terroir

Located in the heart of the hillside vineyard, Domaine de Autecour overlooks Mont-sur-Rolle over 13 hectares and flourishes along the banks of Lake Geneva. The vines are cultivated according to the rules of integrated production, respectful of the environment. The high planting density forces the roots to dig deep into the terroir (moraine and eroded molasses), which gives the wine its remarkable complexity and typicity.

Winemaking

Traditional at controlled temperature, aging on lees in oak barrels.

Bottle closure

Screw cap
