DOMAINE DE LA VIGNE BLANCHE – COLOGNY Being close to nature and the people around us… Sharing our values and respecting nature are commitments that are close to our hearts. Since 2016, to put into practice this desire to return to the roots, we have chosen to apply the principles of Rudolf Steiner in our vineyards. The 2018 vintage will be the first vintage to be labelled BIO bud. We work the rest of our farm according to the organic bud specifications. Gamay, AOC Genève, 2018
