Artisans Vignerons d’Yvorne in the Chablais AOC region
The Artisans Vignerons d’Yvorne are deeply rooted in the Chablais AOC wine region. Yvorne lies at the foot of the Vaud Alps and is one of the most distinctive appellations in Switzerland. The production area is characterized by calcareous soils that were formed after a landslide in the 16th century. This special geological structure gives the wines of the Yvorne Chablais AOC appellation their characteristic freshness, clear structure and pronounced acidity.

The Coopérative has clear requirements for harvesting, vinification and ageing in order to guarantee consistent quality. Tradition and modern techniques intertwine, resulting in wines that combine origin and zeitgeist.
Terroir, vines and production philosophy
The terroir of Yvorne is decisive for the style of the wines. The vines benefit from good ventilation, plenty of sunshine and cool nights. The Artisans Vignerons rely on selective harvesting and careful selection. The aim is to keep fruit, structure and mineral notes in balance. Wine is produced on a parcel-by-parcel basis in order to reveal the characteristics of the individual crus.
