Domaine des Balisiers Comte de Peney 2000 / 12% / 0.75 L

Domaine des Balisiers is one of Switzerland's most interesting wineries, located in Satigny in the canton of Geneva and founded in 1982.From the very beginning, it has focused on organic farming and, over time, biodynamic farming as well, making it one of the pioneers of this approach in the region.The vineyards cover more than 30 hectares and are fully certified under the BIO and Demeter standards.Both white varieties—such as Chasselas, Aligoté, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc—and red varieties—such as Pinot Noir, Gamay, Gamaret, and Cabernet Sauvignon—are grown here..The producer's philosophy is based on minimal intervention: fermentation takes place using wild yeast, and some of the wines are aged in amphorae or barrels.The wines from Domaine des Balisiers are clean and strongly tied to their terroir, often with distinct minerality and good structure.Flagship wines, such as “Comte de Peney” and the red “Dame Noire,” showcase the full potential of this biodynamic vineyard.White wines aged in amphorae have added depth and aging potential, while reds are characterized by a balance of fruit and elegance.Thanks to its consistent commitment to quality and respect for nature, Domaine des Balisiers is now considered the largest producer of organic wine in Switzerland.
