About the wine

The Caves du Château d'Auvernier are idyllically situated on Lake Neuchâtel. Own vines grow on around 16 hectares, plus a further 24 hectares, which cultivate the caves themselves, as well as 20 hectares from winegrowers, some of whom the house has worked with for generations. The vines grow on a terroir similar to that in Burgundy: light to medium-heavy limestone soils ranging from 40cm to 3m down to rocky ground. The winery compensates for the slightly southerly location than in Burgundy and the balanced temperatures due to the proximity to the lake with altitudes of around 100 m higher than its French relatives.
