Plant Robert Domaine de Autecour
Red wine | Mont-sur-Rolle Grand Cru, La Côte AOC
Robert? Who is this one?
Robert – sometimes Robez or Robaz – could have just ''stealed''. GOOD. But what would we have stolen? Gamay plants, probably in Beaujolais, historic land of the grape variety. Present here for centuries, Plant Robert has developed its own name and its own personality. If it has become a symbol of Lavaux, we find rare examples elsewhere, like here, in this very original red wine from the Côte, which seduces with its flavors of black cherry and pepper, highlighted by well-dosed aging and silky tannins.

Domaine de Autecour
Situated in the heart of the winegrowing village of Mont-sur-Rolle, Domaine de Autecour celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2013. A listed building, it bears witness to the rich history of the land. The vines, planted at a high density, produce wines that are aged in the cellars of the estate. Among them, the Chasselas Premier Grand Cru has become a true emblem of the canton of Vaud.
