Under the direction of winemaker Fabienne Cottagnoud, the Cave des Tilleuls in Vétroz is a small winery that cultivates a vineyrard of four and a half hectares. Vétroz is the emblematic village of Amigne grape in the Canton Valais, Switzerland.
Fabienne Cottagnoud’s philosophy is to live in harmony with nature and the earth, an evidence that shapes her daily work in the vineyard and in the cellar of the Cave des Tilleuls in Vétroz. The Amignes de Vétroz constitute the heart of the production of the Cave des Tilleuls, whether in a dry version or those made with vine-dried grapes that meet the requirements of the Grain Noble ConfidenCiel association. However, you should not forget to taste also the red wines Fabienne Cottagnoud such as the Carminoir, Diolinoir and Merlot that are cultivated in the vineyards of Vétroz and Conthey.
