The Estate: La Cave Montreux Riviera is a wine cooperative located in Montreux, Switzerland. It is owned by its winemakers, who enhance the harvest and market the wines. Operating as a family business with a long-term intergenerational vision, ownership is passed down through inheritance. The company is human-sized and responsible, embodying the idea that "small is beautiful." Expertise passed down from generation to generation. The estate benefits from an exceptional panorama and a particularly mild climate, ideal for viticulture. The region is characterized by the "three suns": the sun itself, the reflection of its rays on the surface of Lake Geneva, and the heat released in the evening by the walls surrounding the vineyards. These conditions create an environment conducive to the production of quality wines.
