Balavaud is a Grand Cru classified vineyard. The soils are a black shale and slate. The Chasselas vines are 40 years old on average. The wine was aged in stainless steel with native yeasts. Germanier is one of the oldest Swiss wineries. Urbain Germanier harvested his first vintage in 1896 at Balavaud (a hamlet in the commune of Vétroz) and devoted his life to his vineyards. His three sons, Francis, Paul and Charles later took over and the winery is now in its 3rd generation under the direction of Jean-René Germanier

More About This Wine

Chasselas

A white grape grown all over the world, including Alsace, the Loire, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. The best Chasselas wines, however, are produced in Switzerland, where the grape is called Fendant and is the most widely planted variety in the country.
