The cellar: living wines, in Nyon
Here, every wine has a story and a face. Sébastien looks after a living cellar — organic, biodynamic, or simply true — chosen from winemakers we know by their first name, often just a few kilometres away. No dogma: fine traditional wines from La Côte and beyond have their place here too. To drink by the glass on site, or to take home.
Our favourites, by the glass
The bottles we open most often, the ones you ask for again — by the glass, all year round:
- Chasselas Tradition — Domaine de Montbenay
- Amédée — Domaine La Colombe
- Rosé — Graenicher Vins
- Rosé — Domaine de Montbenay
- Crozes-Hermitage — Domaine Combier
- Rasteau « Cuvée Confiance » — Domaine La Soumade
- The bubbles
Our winemakers, just around the corner
Paul & Maurice de Watteville, 15th and 16th generation on a family estate since 1543. Organic, and pioneers of vinification in terracotta amphorae. It's their Chasselas we pour most often.
Raymond & Violaine Paccot, a benchmark of La Côte. Biodynamic, wines with no added sulphur or yeast. The Amédée cuvée (savagnin) pays tribute to the Count of Savoy.
Vincent Graenicher, organic (with biodynamics in his sights), working and harvesting by hand. His Es Cordelières is classified Premier Grand Cru.
Our exceptional wines
For grand tables and the curious: Graenicher's Es Cordelières Premier Grand Cru, and the amphora cuvées from Domaine de Montbenay — wines that tell of a place and a hand. Ask Sébastien: he opens the right bottle at the right moment.
A wine bar on site, a wine shop to take away
We work like a wine bar: drop by just for a glass of natural wine, no need to eat — we pair you with a glass of the moment. And like a wine shop, the whole cellar is available to take away: tell us your taste, we'll point you to the right bottle — natural wine or classic, traditional labels, from La Côte chasselas to fine French houses. Buying wine in Nyon, natural or traditional, starts here.
A recognised cellar
Our selection is recognised by the Swiss Wine Gourmet (3 glasses) label and listed on raisin.digital.
The glass of the moment & winemaker evenings
We regularly invite the people who make our wines: guided tastings and winemaker evenings, to share.
Frequently asked
Can I just have a glass, without eating?
Yes — we're also a wine bar. Drop by for a glass of natural wine at the counter or a table, Place Bel-Air, without necessarily eating.
Do you sell natural wine to take away in Nyon?
Yes, like a wine shop: the whole cellar (natural, organic, biodynamic) is available to take away. We'll point you to the right bottle.
What is a natural, organic or biodynamic wine?
Organic = grapes without synthetic chemicals. Biodynamics = a step further (moon, natural preparations). Natural = made without additives (little or no sulphur, indigenous yeasts). Our cellar is fully living, listed on raisin.digital.
Where are you, between Geneva and Lausanne?
In Nyon, Place Bel-Air 5, in the heart of La Côte — halfway Geneva–Lausanne. The natural wine address of Nyon, Tuesday to Saturday.
Do you host tastings or winemaker evenings?
Yes, regularly — guided tastings and winemaker evenings. Dates are on the Events page.
