Chardonnay "Serendipity"

Isabella & Stéphane Kellenberger, Vin d’oeuvre, Leuk Stadt
Description (detail)

The fact that Kellenberger's Chardonnay is part of their range could be called a happy coincidence – a stroke of luck, because they were in the right place at the right time. They did not leave the development of the Chardonnay to chance: aged for 12 months in French oak, it develops aromas of yellow tropical fruits and saffron – and yet it remains unmistakably a typical Chardonnay!

More about the wine cellar

Vin d'Oeuvre, Leuk town

Isabella & Stéphane Kellenberger from the Vin d'oeuvre winery in Leuk Stadt are happy to share their passion... because they are available in bottles, in white and red, contemporary or more traditional, ready to enjoy immediately or for storage - tailored to a variety of tastes.

The two met while studying oenology in Vaud. Their relationship is no longer just professional, but also personal. They have two children. Their common strengths lie in the breadth of their individual professional experience, their different interests and the contrasting nature of their personal traits, which nevertheless harmonize perfectly, just like in a good wine.

They produce 17 different wines from indigenous and international grape varieties at their family winery Vin d'oeuvre in Leuk. They travel miles for good wine, as their vineyards stretch from Fully in the Lower Valais to Visperterminen in the Upper Valais - in short, through the entire Valais.

Vin d'oeuvre is a play on words made up of the French "vin" (wine) and "oeuvre" (work). It deliberately alludes to "main d'oeuvre" (craft) and "chef d'oeuvre" (masterpiece). Isabella & Stéphane are vin d'oeuvre, because that is exactly what their wines want to convey: Top quality paired with race and elegance - gained through their work in the vines and in the cellar.

More about the grape variety

Chardonnay

«Popular all-rounder»

Its cradle is possibly in Champagne, where it is also known as "epinette" or "epinette blanche". But Champagne and Burgundy still argue about the origin of this grape. It is the most widely cultivated white grape variety in the world. Around 1920, the grape variety was introduced to Valais and has been increasingly planted in Valais in recent years.

For a long time, Chardonnay was made into an expansive, ripe, slightly sweet wine. As tastes evolved towards drier wines, Chardonnay was harvested earlier and earlier to produce fresher wines with notes of white fruits and flowers. As in Burgundy, these wines like to be aged in oak barrels.
