Empreinte Puissante

Jean-Michel Novelle is an iconic winemaker from the Geneva region, renowned for his relentless pursuit of excellence. In the 1980s, he founded Domaine Le Grand Clos, an experimental 7-hectare vineyard where he reimagined the grape varieties, introducing innovative ones suited to the Geneva terroir. His approach aims to create exceptional wines, blending tradition and modernity while respecting the plant and its environment. L’Empreinte Puissante is the result of this vision—a complex and elegant red wine, a true reflection of the domain's unique expertise.
