The Domaine Le Petit Cottens is a beautiful 8-hectares estate. It has been owned by Walther's family since 1920.
Today, Jean-Pierre Walther and his son Raymond, cultivate the vineyard according to traditional methods. They always search the utmost quality.

Grass grows between vine rows to enhance the organic structure of the soil and avoid erosion. Thining out of the leaves, double or triple buds cutting, thining out of grapes in July and August, all is done to control yield. Grapes are picked up by hand and sorted before pressing or vatting.

Vine is planted on slopes between 450 and 500 m height above sea level, on light and gravelly soils mainly chalky. Chasselas constitutes 85% and Gamay 15% of plantings.
