In 1983, Louis-Philippe Bovard became the 10th generation of his family to take the helm of their 13-hectare estate in Vaud, Switzerland. He is a pioneer of Swiss winemaking; among other things, for the introduction of new grape varieties (Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah), the maturing of Chasselas in barrels, the creation of the Conservatoire Mondial du Chasselas (with the aim of researching older, more qualitative selections) and the creation of an important collection of old Dézaley vintages. The estate is one of the most decorated in all of Switzerland and is recognized and one of the icons of Swiss wine. 

The Dézaley Grand Cru Médinette is made from 100% Chasselas grown on terraced vineyards on clay-limestone soils with sand and gravels along the shores of Lake Geneva. The wine is aged for 10 months in oak barrels on its lees with regular lees stirring. Complex aromas of toasted bread, acacia honey, flint, dried fruit and roasted almonds plume from the glass. The palate is surprisingly dense and rich, well-structured with a strong mineral strong mineral core and long, complex finish. Enjoy with seafood or assorted alpine cheeses.
