Ermitage Grand Cru

The Cave de Goubing is located in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, in Sierre, at the most open point of the Rhone Valley, at an altitude of 533 meters. Called the "City of the Sun" because of its exceptional sunshine - more than 300 days a year - the region of Sierre, with its 320 ha of vineyards in the heart of the Valais vineyards, is the Swiss capital of wine.

It was in 1974 that Michel Jacquod, winegrower and winemaker, founded the Cave de Goubing. In 1999, after studying winegrowing and oenology, his son Olivier joined the company, and has been running it since 2007.

The vineyard, which covers an area of 3.5 ha, is managed in Integrated Production (IP) since the early 1990s. The installation of the drip irrigation system in 2017 allows, thanks to the adjustable drippers, to make up to 70% water savings.

For all the grape varieties of the Cave de Goubing, vinification, the operation that consists of transforming the grapes into wine by fermentation, is done in the traditional way and without chaptalization (without adding sugar to the must to increase the final alcohol content of the wine). 2016 saw the birth of a new red wine, the "Syrah Grand Cru", gold medal at the Swiss Wine Grand Prix in 2019, 2017 a new white wine, the "Ermitage Grand Cru" and 2019 "Le Jubilé", a traditional method sparkling wine. Passion and pride!
