Wine is art and science.
The combination is magic.

It starts in the vineyard. When the grapes are ready, the whole family joins the harvest, picking by hand from parcels across La Côte, where the gentle slopes above Lake Geneva produce some of Switzerland's most expressive fruit. From there, everything happens in the cellar at Château de Chigny. Rahel vinifies each variety separately, treating fermentation with the same precision she once brought to science. The reds spend up to 18 months in oak from France and the Jura Vaudois. The whites are handled with a lighter touch, as the aim is always to let the character of the grape speak clearly. Production is deliberately small: a few hundred bottles of each wine per vintage. Every bottle is numbered individually by hand. There's no warehouse, no stock room. When a vintage sells out, it's finished.

Many winemakers work from a place they know intimately. Rahel works differently. Without a vineyard of her own, she builds each vintage in close collaboration with growers she trusts, selecting grape varieties based on the year's growing conditions and parcels she knows, mostly across the La Côte appellation. It means no two years look the same. Some vintages produce three wines, others seven. A grape variety that appeared one year may never return. Each wine is a response to a specific harvest, a specific moment. The freedom to follow the character of the fruit, in dialogue with growers and their land, is what makes the wines distinctive. The result is a collection that changes completely every year: small runs of wines that exist once, and once they're gone, they're gone.
