LA CAVE DE GENèVE
The eventful and great history of La Cave de Genève begins at the end of the First World War. In 1929, some winegrowers from the Arve et Lac region founded a cooperative. It was called La Cave de la Souche and united about 50 members. This group also gave birth to the first Swiss Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). From 1933, the cooperative was called La Cave de Mandement. In 1948, Vin Union began its operations. Its activities included all oenological tasks, product creation and sales. In 1970, the company processed nearly 80 percent of Geneva's total production. The main business was the transformation of grapes into wine and its sale. The cooperative receives the grapes for pressing immediately after harvest. Since 2007, Cave de Genève SA has been located in Satigny, the largest wine-growing community in Switzerland. In our search for a Geneva winery, we were absolutely delighted by the barrique line la Clémence. The name la Clémence, by the way, derives from the 6238 kilogram bell in the Cathedral of St. Pierre, which since 1407 has protected the people of Geneva from demons and other nasties.
