With an ideal southern aspect, one that takes advantage of the reflected rays of sunlight from Lake Geneva below (altitude 400-600 meters), and the looming presence of the surrounding Alps, the Chasselas that Louis Bovard grows here defies the neutral description that is so frequently applied to the variety. Grapes are hand-harvested, crushed, and undergo a short maceration on the skins. Aged and fermented in foudre for 10 months. Medinette is rich and complex, subtly mineral and impressively poised – in short, a Grand Cru wine.
