On the nose and palate, one finds aromas of black and red fruits, as well as spices and pepper. The tannins are present and blend with a well-structured acidity.

Les vignes sont exposées sud, sud-ouest à une altitude variant entre 425 et 485 m d'altitude. Les vendanges sont exclusivement manuelles. Plantée au domaine en 2000, la Mondeuse Noire a su séduire avec ses qualités pour trouver définitivement sa place. Actuellement, elle recouvre quelques hectares à Genève et c’est un trésor pour le patrimoine viticole local. C'est un cépage tardif et productif qui demande une conduite viticole rigoureuse avec une attention toute particulière pour la maitrise des rendements.
Winemaking
Aged in 600-litre oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, then blended before bottling.
Damien Mermoud
It is located on the Lully hillside, in the municipality of Bernex. In 1947, driven by a spirit of independence, Paul and Edouard decided to add value to the vineyard's produce by bottling and selling their first bottles. Gradually expanding, the estate was revitalized with the arrival of Luc in 1976, followed by his wife Liliane. The purchase of some plots and the leasing of others have brought the vineyard area to its current size of 4.7 hectares. Damien returned to the estate in 2006 to continue the adventure. Since 2007, the major shift towards organic viticulture has been underway. The estate has been undergoing organic conversion since January 2019, and biodynamic farming practices were introduced the same year.
Geneva
The Geneva vineyard is one of the oldest and most dynamic in Switzerland. Located at the crossroads of French and Swiss influences, it stretches across varied hillsides bordering the Rhône, the Arve, and Lake Geneva. In terms of area, it is now the third largest vineyard in the country.
With a wide variety of local and international grape varieties planted, and wines of exceptional quality, its vineyard has become a benchmark in the Swiss wine landscape. A new generation of winemakers has breathed new life into the estate and is adopting a more modern and globally minded approach.
Geneva also stands out for its commitment to sustainability, with a growing number of certified organic or in-conversion vineyards, and for the GRTA (Geneva Region – Land of the Future) label, which recognizes production that respects the terroir. Blending tradition and innovation, Geneva's vineyards perfectly illustrate the energy and creativity of contemporary Swiss viticulture.
