Stéphane PorchetCalamin Grand Cru 2024

About this wine

Stéphane Porchet's Calamin Grand Cru is one of Switzerland's most prestigious white wines, crafted from Chasselas vines rooted in steep, sun-drenched terraces overlooking Lake Geneva. This is the kind of bottle that transforms skeptics into believers, proving that Chasselas can achieve genuine greatness when grown in exceptional terroir.

The 2024 vintage delivers a beautiful mineral core with notes of white peach, wet stone, and delicate citrus blossom. There's a saline quality that speaks to the wine's proximity to the lake, balanced by a subtle richness and a long, elegant finish. At 12.5% alcohol, it maintains perfect freshness while offering surprising depth and complexity.

This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with lake fish like perch or féra, ideally prepared simply with butter and herbs. It's also magnificent with fondue or raclette, where its minerality cuts through the richness of melted cheese. Serve at 10-12°C to fully appreciate its refined character and crystalline purity.
