Jean-René Germanier 2016 Clos de la Couta Heida

Clos de la Couta is a respected but long abandoned vineyard in the municipality of Vex in Val d’Hérens with slate based soils. Germanier took over and revitalized this site at the request of the local township, rebuilding the weathered terraces and organically revitalizing the soil to plant pinot noir and heida. Heida is the regional name for the variety known in the Jura as Savagnin, with records of Swiss plantings dating back to 1586.
