“Le terroir se révèle par le labeur de l’homme, il faut l’écouter, le comprendre et il dévoilera ses secrets à celui qui aura la patience et la passion. Ainsi naissent les légendes.”
A young winemaker in Saint-Blaise, Charlène Contesse has been producing confidential cuvées under the name “Le Clos-aux-Moines” since 2019. The 1.8-hectare vineyard, half Chasselas and half Pinot Noir, features magnificent dry-stone walls that are home to a rich biodiversity. Each vine in this non-mechanizable vineyard is worked organically by hand through the seasons.
