La Côte
La Côte is the wine region between Nyon and Lausanne. It benefits from the protection of the Jura mountains and Lake Geneva’s moderating temperatures.
The wines vary depending on the soil: loose gravel at lower elevations near the lake yields very elegant wines while heavier soil at higher elevations produces more structured wines marked by floral and fruit notes.
