The Cave à la Cornalle , led by Philippe Rouge , is a true winemaking treasure located in Epesses , in the heart of the terraced vineyards of Lavaux , a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Rouge family , established in Epesses since 1553 , has been preserving and passing down its winemaking expertise from generation to generation. The estate spans 4.8 hectares , cultivated under integrated production , in full respect of tradition and the local terroir. The vineyards stretch across several prestigious appellations: St-Saphorin , Epesses , Calamin , and Dézaley , offering a unique diversity at the heart of Lavaux. The estate’s specialty is Chasselas , the iconic white grape variety that represents 80% of the total production. This wine pairs perfectly with the vineyard’s clay-rich soils , revealing finesse, minerality, and authenticity. The harvests are vinified in the modern La Cornalle cellar , built in 1992 above the village of Epesses. Equipped according to the latest technical standards, this facility ensures precise control of fermentation temperatures , guaranteeing wines of great purity and exceptional quality. In addition to Chasselas, the estate also produces red wines , including Pinot Noir and various blends featuring Cabernet , Garanoir , Gamaret , and Galotta , as well as rosé wines , all crafted with passion, precision, and a deep respect for the terroir. The Cave à la Cornalle also welcomes wine enthusiasts for visits , private tastings , and moments of discovery in the heart of the Lavaux vineyards. An authentic experience blending tradition , modernity , and family heritage .
