Alain Parisod

The Recognition The clearest public marker around Parisod’s work is the attention given to Cuvée Pierre Keller 2022, a Chasselas by Alain Parisod from Domaine de la Grille in Grandvaux. The Office des Vins Vaudois described that wine as promising an exceptional tasting experience, a concise recognition of a bottle rooted in the estate’s white-wine specialty. That recognition sits within a focused identity rather than a scattered résumé. Domaine de la Grille is the Parisod family estate in Grandvaux, and Parisod’s role there joins ownership, winegrowing, and cellar mastery rather than separating vineyard from cellar.

The Work

Behind It Chasselas from Grandvaux is the central specialty associated with Parisod. At Domaine de la Grille, the work does not end in the vineyard: all production is cellared at the estate under his responsibility, making the cellar a direct extension of his role as winegrower. The wines attached to his name show that focus through specific places in Vaud. Domaine de la Grille Villette Grand Cru is a white Chasselas wine from Villette, Lavaux, Vaud, Switzerland, listed under the Alain Parisod winery. Domaine de la Maison Blanche Epesses Grand Cru is also a Chasselas, this time from Epesses, Lavaux, Vaud, Switzerland, listed under Alain Parisod. His range is not limited to white wine. Domaine de la Grille Villette Pinot Noir is a light and perfumed red wine made from Pinot Noir in Vaud, Switzerland, giving the cellar a second expression alongside the Chasselas for which his Grandvaux work is known.

The Road Parisod’s career is tied to the family estate rather than presented as a sequence of outside appointments. The defining place is Domaine de la Grille in Grandvaux, where his current responsibilities bring together the owner’s accountability, the winegrower’s work in the raw material, and the cellar master’s control over production. The route is therefore best read through bottles and sites: Grandvaux for the estate and its Chasselas specialty, Villette for the Grand Cru Chasselas and Pinot Noir, and Epesses for the Grand Cru Chasselas listed under his name. Across those wines, the through-line is responsibility held close to the domaine, from production to cellar.
