Parcelle168 is a Swiss artisanal winery. Located in the heart of La Côte, in the beautiful hamlet of Bugnaux. Every day, we are fortunate to enjoy magnificent views of the lake and Mont Blanc.

Our cellar is incredibly small. Just a few tanks and a handful of barrels. What drives us is the passion for creating new wines. Each year, we carefully harvest the grapes from different plots, and our wines are produced in micro-batches of around 500 bottles. Each wine comes from plots cultivated with respect for nature. Our goal is for each bottle to become a reflection of a specific plot, an expression of its terroir.

Our winemaking philosophy is simple: preserve what the vineyard gives us and create an original wine, leaving a minimal winemaking footprint.

JULIEN LATRONCHE – FOUNDER

I grew up in the countryside of southwest France with a grandmother who owned a country restaurant. I spent my youth in nature, picking mushrooms, fishing, gathering chestnuts, and building huts. Wine was always a topic of conversation at family meals.

Even today, this closeness to nature continues to be an extremely important influence.

After graduating with a Business Management degree in Bordeaux, I had the opportunity to visit and live in some of the best wine regions in France, Italy, Spain, and the United States. A deep love for wine continued to grow along the way.

My interest in winemaking began about thirteen years ago when I arrived in Rolle, VD. I met the talented winemakers of the region, discovered the magnificent Swiss vineyards and developed a passion for single varietal wines of Pinot Noir, Merlot and Chasselas.

With the support of Mieke, my wife, the long-held dream of having my own winery has become a reality; I created Parcelle168 in 2021.
