by Alexandre Truffer, ©RomanDuVin.ch 2006  Wine-growing Switzerland has an amazing variety of vines. Some among them which may not be very popular, may have been forgotten or require a lot of care, have almost vanished. Fortunately, people and associations refuse to accept the loss of a wine-growing heritage merely for the sake of profit or the need to promote a product.
Over the past few years, in the Vaud canton, on the edge of the Léman lake, a speciality is returning to life. After almost vanishing under the concrete of a highway, this variety is gradually resurfacing among the terraces of the Lavaux. It is called the Plant Robert . Its history is remarkable, its survival incredible. As for its future, it is proving to be promising. A suivre également, les chapitres de dégustation, read more (in french)
