Château de LAVISON

Cuvée 977

In 1920, the vines were pulled up, then replanted, and since then the variey of vine has remained unchanged. Cattle and cereal crop were abandonned in 1960, and the family has focused exclusively on vineyard ever since.
Then, in 2000, Alexandra, Martine Martet's daughter, the latter being Jack and Johanne Martet's grand-daughter, took over the vineyard. Wine making in Lavison took on a whole new direction . Limited yield, heavy pruning, double leaf removal, natural grass cover crops, and for the wine making part, our wine is matured in Bordeaux oak casks.
This endeavour bore fruit, as in 2004, Lavison was awarded the Reasoned Viticulture label. We do mechanical harvesting.
