Gérald Besse

Gérald Besse laid the foundations in 1979 with one hectare in Champortay; Patricia joined him in 1981, and the first estate vintage was produced in 1984. Today, daughter Sarah also works at the estate and has been responsible for the vinifications since 2016. The steep, terraced vineyards above Martigny are cultivated predominantly by hand, have been farmed organically since 2017 and have been Bio Suisse certified since 2022. In the cellar, the vinification is tailored to the grape variety and vintage.
