Grand Appétit
Here, every wine has a story and a face. Sébastien looks after a cellar that is 100% alive — organic, biodynamic, or simply true — chosen from winemakers we know by their first name, often just a few kilometres away. To drink by the glass on site, or to take home.
The bottles we open most often, the ones you ask for again — by the glass, all year round:
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.
The Dussex family farm dry-stone terraces, horses working the soil. Their Humagne rouge is a wild, distinguished Valais grape.
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.
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. Buying natural wine in Nyon starts here.
Our selection is recognised by the Swiss Wine Gourmet (3 glasses) label and listed on raisin.digital.
We regularly invite the people who make our wines: guided tastings and winemaker evenings, to share.

Yes, like a wine shop: the whole cellar (natural, organic, biodynamic) is available to take away. We'll point you to the right bottle.
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.
