Laurent BerthetPlant Robert Grand Cru 2024

About this wine

Plant Robert is a rare gem from the Lavaux terraces, and this 2024 vintage from Laurent Berthet shows exactly why this old vine deserves your attention. If you're looking to discover something genuinely different from the usual suspects, this is your chance to explore a forgotten Swiss treasure.

The wine opens with bright red fruit notes, clean and precise on the palate. There's a mineral quality that speaks directly to the steep slate slopes of Lavaux, with a nice freshness that keeps everything balanced and elegant. The structure is refined, with fine tannins that suggest this wine will age beautifully in your cellar.

This is the kind of wine that works wonderfully with local Vaud cuisine. Think of it alongside a hearty fondue, or better yet, with roasted lake fish and mushrooms. Serve it slightly cool, around 14 to 16 degrees, to bring out that freshness. It's a wine that rewards patience, so don't rush it. Let it breathe for a few minutes before pouring.
