Au Clos De La Republique
About
The involvement in the vineyards of Lavaux by the Fonjallaz family dates back to the 16th century, making it Switzerland's oldest family firm. The domain is 3 hectares, and the wines are all made on the property. The harvest of another 15 hectares from growers, family and neighbours are added to the domain. A little less than two-thirds is white wine, the other one-third is red wine. The wine production covers 7 appellations, bottling and marketing under 15 labels, of which the best-known is Clos de la Rpublique. Clients are welcomed in Epesses where the winery has a beautiful cellar in wood that houses a 32,000 litre vase, with a terrace that has a magnificent view, a reception area big enough to handle large groups. The near-totality of Fonjallaz wines that are sold carry the Terravin label, a guarantee of quality and authenticity.Details

Wine tasting can be boring and focused on wines alone but here you get the history of the region and of the family along with several interesting stories about the different wines and vineyards (nature of grounds and exposure) making it a fascinating experience.
Popped in Saturday afternoon, after easily finding parking a block away.Got a tasty cheese platter and some white wine. sat outside.very pretty place, views on the lake are great but somewhat limited when sitting further away from the edge. overall recommend.
