Bonjour, J'ai trouvé chez Daniel Bovy et son fils Xavier tout d'abord des vignerons passionnés par leur métier et une large gamme de vins top au niveau qualité à des prix abordables, que ce soit au niveau blanc, rouge ainsi que le tartegnin rosé ! Je ne peux que vous recommander une petite dégustation sur leur terrasse ombragée avec une vue imprenable sur le lac Léman. Vous dégusterez un excellent chasselas et chasselas sur lie ainsi que quelques autres spécialités. En ce qui concerne les vins rouges pour un repas, je ne peux que vous recommander le Désir-Noir (mariage de cépages Gamaret, Garanoir, Pinot Noir) ainsi que le Dornfelder, un peu plus charpenté, (cépage originaire d'Allemagne). Je finirai par vous souhaiter une belle dégustation. Daniel Chevalier

The Domaine du Vieux Toit in Mont-sur-Rolle is a wine estate located in the heart of the renowned La Côte wine region in French-speaking Switzerland. This estate enjoys a prime location on the slopes overlooking Lake Geneva, offering ideal conditions for viticulture thanks to its rich soil, favorable microclimate, and optimal exposure. The estate primarily produces wines from the Chasselas grape variety, emblematic of the region, known for yielding elegant, subtle, and expressive white wines. Other grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Gamay, or international varieties, may also be cultivated depending on the estate's focus. The vineyard is often associated with a family tradition, with expertise passed down through generations, while integrating modern techniques to ensure consistent quality. The wines of Domaine du Vieux Toit are typically appreciated for their finesse, freshness, and faithful reflection of the local terroir. They pair perfectly with Swiss dishes like fondue or lake fish. If you’re looking for specific details about their wines, techniques, or events, don’t hesitate to ask!

WELCOME TO THE DOMAINE Gilles Besse and Jean-René Germanier are pleased to welcome you to the Germanier page and invite you to explore their Domaine. Their joint passion for wine and its « terroir » finds full expression in the exceptional crus that have shaped the Domaine’s outstanding reputation. THE CELLAR Visit and Tasting THE DOMAINE AND ITS WINE CELLAR – PLACES STEEPED IN HISTORY Our Domaine is located in Balavaud, a hamlet of the comune of Vétroz situated at the heart of the Valais and the Rhone Valley, famous for its warm, dry microclimate in the summer months. Our imposing wine cellar and other facilities for winemaking, aging and bottling greet visitors at the entrance to the village and are open for tour by appointment. A site of particular interest and well worth a detour is the ancient bicentennial vaulted cellar where our earliest vintages were pressed in 1896. Today this splendid hall steeped in history and emotion is entirely dedicated to the fascination of the world of wine. The cellar is equipped to accommodate groups of up to seventy and offers ideal conditions for wine-tasting in authentic traditional surroundings. Under normal weather conditions it maintains normal business hours in order to allow wine-loving visitors to stop and discover our wines with a leisurely tasting in a uniquely appropriate setting. Evening tastings are also possible on Fridays and Saturdays, and, by appointment, any day of the week. OPENING TIMES FRIDAY : 16h à 23h SATURDAY : 10h30 à 21h Open 7/7 upon request ***** VINEYARDS Close to nature STATE-OF-THE-ART VITICULTURE, SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH NATURE Out of love for the art of winemaking quality is our highest priority. The commitment to quality is also one to wines of pronounced character, which means a voluntary limitation of yield per vine. We are constantly in search of innovative methods, of the true character of our terroirs, of forgotten varieties awaiting rediscovery. Each of our vineyard parcels receives regular, individual care, above all in the fall in order to fix the date of harvest, the pivotal moment for the future character of our wines. We also believe that the care of our vineyards must seek the highest quality grapes while also observing the greatest respect for the environment. For this reason we were among the pioneers in the introduction of integrated production fifteen years ago. This method guarantees the sustainable use of chemical intervention. Today we remain in the vanguard of viticultural practice in harmony with the environment such as planting grass between the rows of vines. For the last five years, we have likewise maintained three estates that are cultivated according to the norms of the label Bio Suisse.
