To exercise this right of withdrawal, the wine must have been properly stored, at temperatures below 15°C and the bottles must be returned in perfect condition (label and cap intact).

 

WINE CONSERVATION IN OUR CELLARS IN GLAND AND GENEVA

Wine is a living product, which improves with time. Its conservation conditions are therefore very important. If these are not respected, there are many risks (drying of the cork, premature aging and negative evolution of the wine, etc.). CAVE SA guarantees its customers optimal storage conditions in this respect.

TEMPERATURE The wines are stored at a temperature of 14°C in Gland and Les Bastions. This temperature is constant, without jolts or thermal shocks, whether in our warehouse in Gland (which benefits from professional air conditioning and hygrometry) or in our cellar in Geneva (natural atmosphere twelve meters below ground).

HUMIDITY "A fundamental factor in the proper aging of wine, the humidity of the cellar is too often neglected by wine lovers who focus on the temperature. However, a cellar that is too dry can be catastrophic for the conservation of bottles, causing irreparable damage. In the absence of sufficient humidity, i.e. a rate of at least 70%, the corks dry out and the wine evaporates; the levels drop rapidly, causing premature oxidation. This phenomenon is further aggravated if the temperature is too high. A hygrometer is therefore an essential instrument to install in the cellar and you should react immediately if the humidity level is too low, for example by watering the cellar floor regularly. A too high humidity is not harmful for the wine, but it deteriorates the labels, a lesser evil." Extract from the Revue des Vins de France (RVF) This is why we do not compromise with this key factor and maintain a hygrometry of 75% in our cellars!

EXHIBITION OF BOTTLES The bottles should not be directly exposed to light sources, because if they are exposed for a long time, they can develop deviations - transparent glass bottles are particularly sensitive to this. This is an important point for us and that is why we have called in a light engineer for all the installations in our cellars. These are the optimal storage conditions for the wines we offer you and for your wines kept in our cellars (pallet rental in Gland and racks in Geneva).

 

RARE WINES

Some rare wines are available in very limited quantities. Most of the winemakers we work with have a confidential production. We reserve the right to limit certain wines.
