Savagnin is not native to Lavaux — but here, it seems to have been born for it. In the hands of the Gaillard brothers, this discreet grape takes on the air of a tightrope walker: mineral, precise, taut, yet always balanced.

The nose speaks softly, but truthfully: warm stone, white flower, citrus peel. On the palate, it surges, direct, clean, unadorned. Long, salivating finish, clinging to the taste buds like a steep path.

A refined, structured wine for those seeking more than just a flattering white. Perfect with Lake Geneva trout, a root vegetable dish, or a serious aged cheese.

A confidential Lavaux, unassuming — but unforgettable.

A bit like good advice, whispered softly.
