The Estate The Domaine des Loveresses is located in Yens, where over 70 hectares of land are dedicated to growing fruits and vegetables. We have made endives and tomatoes our specialties. By practicing sustainable agriculture, we offer healthy and tasty products. Producing ecologically, respecting the seasons, is part of our heritage and the future of the Estate. Among our loyal customers are local grocery stores, restaurants, and other shops selling regional products. We also offer, at our on-site store in Yens, delicious fruits and vegetables, as well as regional products such as meat, eggs, apple juice, etc. Our Story Since its creation in 1968 by Michel and Claire-Lise Cornu, the Domaine des Loveresses quickly specialized in market gardening. It was during this period that our first refrigerated halls and forcing rooms were built, primarily dedicated to the cultivation of endives. In the 1980s, with the constant development of the Estate, the first tunnel and greenhouse crops appeared, now housing our tomato, strawberry, and raspberry plants. Today, the second generation, led by Philippe Cornu and his family, heads the Domaine des Loveresses and strives to combine modernity, sustainable development, and the tradition of quality Vaudois products. Our Crops Spread across open fields, greenhouses, and growing rooms, our products are grown in Yens. For our endives, before transforming them into chicory in our growing rooms, they are cultivated as roots by 15 regional farmers from La Côte and Gros de Vaud. The rest of our production is grown in open fields and greenhouses. Our endives are produced in winter. Our Production We take great care to produce healthy and tasty fruits and vegetables. Our cultivation and production processes are constantly aimed at ecological improvement. For us, producing seasonal fruits and vegetables is inseparable from environmental considerations. That is why our crops are equipped with water recovery systems, and future projects are underway. We have diversified our production to include zucchini, squash, cabbage, turnips, and beets, available in both raw and cooked forms. We also grow strawberries, raspberries, and watermelons in spring and summer.

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.

Il y a peu de temps, j’ai découvert Delphine dans son cabinet à Bramois. Tout d’abord, elle m’a présenté les différents soins qu’elle proposait. Le feeling a tout de suite bien passé. Mon choix s’est porté sur « la thérapie cranio-sacrée » dans le but de m’accorder un temps relaxant et apaisant. J’ai reçu un soin tout en « Douces Heures ». Delphine est une personne bienveillante et très professionnel. Je la remercie encore pour ce moment précieux de détente. Au plaisir de recevoir un nouveau type de soin dans son nouveau cabinet à Sion.
