About the wine

The winery was founded in 1896 in the municipality of Balavaud in Lower Valais. Jean-René Germanier took over the winery from his father. The estate is currently managed with great success by Gilles Besse, Jean-René's nephew. In recent years, the company has been completely equipped with new cellar technology and forms an important framework for Valais wine. Autochthonous grape varieties such as Cornalin, Humagne and Amigne are on the Jean-René Germanier program even before the hype for local and traditional produce begins.
