Domaine BovySt-Saphorin Vieilles Vignes 2024

About this wine

Nestled in the steep terraced vineyards of Lavaux, this St-Saphorin from old vines captures the essence of Lake Geneva's gentle microclimate. Domaine Bovy crafts this Chasselas with patience and respect for tradition, letting the unique terroir speak through every sip.

On the nose, you'll find delicate notes of white flowers and citrus, with a subtle mineral edge that's characteristic of these ancient vines rooted in rocky soil. The palate is fresh and crisp, offering flavors of green apple and pear, balanced by a lovely saline finish that lingers beautifully. At 12% alcohol, it's light on its feet yet full of character.

This wine shines alongside a classic Swiss fondue or raclette, where its acidity cuts through the richness perfectly. It also pairs wonderfully with lake fish like perch filets, grilled asparagus, or a simple goat cheese salad. Serve it slightly chilled at around 10-12°C to fully appreciate its refreshing qualities.
