L'Arbalète Rouge

Red wine | Dézaley Grand Cru AOC

A historical rarity from the Testuz house
On the steep terraces of Dézaley, Chasselas reigns supreme. But we also find a few red plants on this very exposed terroir, which lends itself well. And this in particular thanks to Jules Testuz, who planted them at the beginning of the 20th century. His successors had the good idea to continue this approach and today offer a blend that delights with its depth and its aging potential.

The attack is direct and straightforward, the flesh is smooth, the heart is structured and energetic, the noble tannic mass seduces with its quality.

Testuz, a house in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage.

From the slopes of Lavaux, classified as a UNESCO world heritage site, the Testuz vineyard reflects a vision of wine, made from rigor, precision and patience. The Testuz house bears the heritage of a family that settled in 1538 on the heights of a unique terroir.

The terraced vineyards of Lavaux have an architecture worthy of a cathedral. A colossal work shaped by the hand of man, this haven of beauty has dimensions that evokes a response that is almost spiritual.
