Our wines

Chasselas

An expressive Chasselas, typical wine from the heart of la Côte, it reminds exotic fruits taste with few floral notes. Very generous, silky and persistent to the palate. A great millesime.

Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany fish and cheese dishes.

Chasselas Barrique

Very expressive wine, with floral notes, it is also slightly marked by wood (one third new barrel) which gives a nice complexity taste. A well balanced mouthfeel, it is interesting to compare it to the classic version. Indeed, its acidity is a little more marked, due to the millesime difference.

A perfect match with your meals (especially fish or white meat).

Pinot-Gris

Our Pinot-Gris parcels are located in the upper part of the hillsides, near the forest. This grape variety finds there cool conditions, which are perfect to develop all its aromatic palette. Its subtle fruity aromas are developed by a long period of maturation and the slight residual sugar is counterbalanced by a touch of acidity.

This is a well balanced wine, perfectly appropriate as an aperitif or to enjoy with risottos and white meats.

Viognier

Aromatic and very expressive, the nose is dominated by apricot; there are also others fruits notes, smell of citruses (bergamot) and floral hints. It is opulent on the palate with a strong acidity on the finish. During his vacation in the Rhone Valley, Jean-Daniel was totally seduced by the tasting of a very good Viognier. In the early 2000s, he planted this grape variety in Vinzel, unusual for this area.

This wine match perfectly with asparagus and fishes of the lake. It will also be appreciated by sushi lovers.

Rosé

This wine has been created for summer time! Very fruity on the nose (raspberry and strawberry), made with a majority of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Garonoir, this blending has a beautiful freshness mouthfeel. Its color is due to the short maceration time, only a few hours, during which the grape skins are in contact with the juice.

It will be perfect on a terrace, and will be a harmonious match with fish dishes and grilled poultry.

Champenoir

Fruity, nice and round in mouth, this traditional wine blended mainly with Gamay, and Pinot noir, will seduce you in everyday life. “Champenoir” refers to the wine parcel named Champel, located at the top of the vineyard, on the forest edge.

It will harmonize well with traditional local food (sausage with cabbage, cold meats cuts, tec…)

Pinot Noir Cuvée spéciale

This new product of La cave des Ruaz is a limited edition (353 numbered bottles).

On the nose, this 100% Pinot Noir reveals a nice aromatic intensity, typical smell of the grape variety mixing dry flowers and fruits hints. We can note a subtle smoke finish touch, because of the barrel ageing during 8 months. On the mouthfeel side, the attack is round with delicate fruity flavours and tannins still very present.

A very nice single wine variety that will sublimate red meats and game birds.

Le Panache

Very intense and expressive, this blending of Gamaret and Garanoir is aged in barrels of 225 liters for 12 months. With a fruity nose (red fruits and blackcurrant), it offers subtle woody and vanilla notes. Very opulent in the mouth, long lasting aromatic intensity, the tanins are well blended. It will reach its peak around 3 to 8 years after the harvest depending on the vintage. But pleasant to drink in its youth.

Ideal for meat dishes with sauce and cheese assortment.

Merlot Ruaz

A suitable terroir, a well-ripened grapes and a small parcel at Begnins are the perfect ingredients of this wine produced at the domain since 2008. Aged in barrels of 225 liters for 1 year, this wine reveals to the nose a beautiful intensity of small blackberries (cherries, blackcurrants). The barrel taste is discreet, according to the age of the barrels used. Opulent in the mouth, we can recognize the fruity side on nose with tannins still very present.

A wine that you can keep few years.

Champeline

Pretty expressive nose, this sweet wine issued from the Viognier grape variety, is not a late harvest. Achieved after the concentration of grape must, this wine offers a sweetness in mouth balance out by its nice liveliness.

A wine for desert, it will match perfectly well with fruits pies.
