The historic birthplace of Pinot Noir
The oldest estate of the Famille Rouvinez, the Colline de Géronde overlooks the city of Sierre. Its morainic, stony, and well-drained soil allows the vines to plunge their roots up to ten meters deep, drawing complexity and consistency.
This terroir is particularly suited to Pinot Noir, which develops finesse, elegance, and depth here. The wines of Géronde accurately express the balance between fruit, structure, and the identity of the place.
