Domaine la Colombe Fechey La Cote

Chasselas

Féchy, Switzerland

Jules Paccot, the son of a French seasonal worker from Savoy, bought vineyards in Féchy in 1917. His son, Roger, created the winery known as La Colombe in 1961. In 1978, Roger’s eldest son, Raymond, returned to the estate after a few years of teaching and a trip to Africa that opened his eyes. He realized he missed the vines. It was then that he returned home and switched careers to become a grower and passionately committed oenologist. He studied at the Changins Technical School of Viticulture and Oenology, and after internships in California and Spain, returned to Féchy to take over the family estate.
