Château de Châtagneréaz
Château de Châtagneréaz – a name steeped in history. Since 996, vines have grown on the clay hills of La Côte on Lake Geneva, and today these vineyards are among the most impressive in western Switzerland. The chestnut forests that once gave the estate its name have long been part of the legend of this place.
On 18 hectares of prime vineyard land, wines are produced that honestly reflect their terroir: structured white wines with sweet fruitiness and fine acidity, elegant red wines with a long finish. Hand-harvesting and high planting density – almost 10,000 vines per hectare – are not marketing promises, but a lived conviction.

Château de Châtagneréaz –
La Côte since 996
Few wineries in western Switzerland can boast such a long history as Château de Châtagneréaz . Vines have been growing on the clay hills of La Côte on Lake Geneva since 996 – long before the concept of terroir even entered the realm of viticulture. The estate owes its name to the chestnut forests that once characterized these slopes and remain part of the local identity to this day.
On 18 hectares of prime vineyard land, the estate relies on hand-harvesting and a planting density of nearly 10,000 vines per hectare – a decision that demands deep roots and makes the concentration palpable in the glass. The white wines display a clear fruitiness with fine acidity, while the red wines impress with their elegance and a long, smooth finish. This is not a style that demands attention – but rather one that reveals itself over time.
