The wine-growing châteaux of French speaking Switzerland also live and die. However, a resurrection occurs occasionally, as in the case of the Peseux château. Even though Neuchâtel's must cellaring was discontinued in 1949, its cellar served to store the French, Italian and Spanish vintages of a trading company. Under the impetus of the new owner, Olivier Girardin, the estate's cellars vinified its local produce once again.
