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.

Since 1785, the family’s passion and expertise in wine 🍷 and vineyard work have been passed down from father to son. Master winemaker and oenologist Philippe Rosset took over the estate in 1999. He now manages the winery with passion, and his wines are regularly awarded prizes at numerous Swiss wine competitions 🏆 In the organically cultivated vineyards 🌿, Chasselas, Gamay and Pinot Noir, as well as Gamaret, Merlot, Chardonnay, Muscat and Viognier fully express their richness. The clay-limestone slopes give the wines their appreciated minerality. The estate also produces a wine with no added sulfites: Galotta. The Vaud lakeside region is above all a wonderful place to live ☀️ With breathtaking views of Lake Geneva, the Alps and Mont Blanc, visitors are warmly welcomed to discover the wine cellar and enjoy a pleasant wine tasting 🍷 Built in Rolle, the cellar combines tradition and modernity The stainless-steel vats allow precise fermentation management while preserving the typical aromas of each grape variety and the identity of the terroir. White wine vinification is considered one of the most demanding processes in oenology. A quality white wine should offer freshness, balance, refined fruit aromas and well-balanced acidity ✨ With its own vinification facilities, filters, bottling equipment and labeling machines, Domaine Rosset controls every production step to guarantee premium Swiss wines. The oak barrels enhance the estate’s specialties and bring depth and elegance to the wines 🍇
