Our estate pioneered the introduction of this grape variety to Switzerland. The first plantings were even considered illegal and uprooted. Our Comte de Peney is aged in oak barrels and amphorae. The Cuvée Comte de Peney is a wine particularly suited to fine dining. It is also appreciated by wine enthusiasts and collectors, and/or for birthdays, as it is our Comte de Peney with the longest aging potential in the Domaine des Balisiers selection.
