The Domaine de Chateauvieux in Satigny, Geneva is a name well-known to lovers of fine dining in the Lake Geneva region. in October its sommelier, Xavier Debloch, won GaultMillau’s title of Swiss Sommelier of the Year 2009, which he shares with a sommelier in Ascona. Patricia Briel, one of Switzerland’s best wine journalists, has written a profile on him for Le Temps, offering him as an example of a new generation of young sommeliers who are less impressed by some of the grand old wines than their predecessors, and who want to share their enthusiasm and passion for good wines without all the snobbery of the past.
