    Portrait of Alexandre Colomb

    i. Biography

    Alexandre Colomb took over as winemaker and oenologist at Domaine Bouvet-Jabloir in Auvernier, Switzerland, in 2002. At the estate, he is described as part of the 4th generation, and that detail matters: the work is framed as continuity, with each vintage carrying forward a family line already tied to the land.

    Coming Up

    Technical formation came through Ecole d’ingénieurs de Changins, where the base of Colomb's practice was built in the language winemaking requires: precision, method, and consistency. That training shows in the way Alexandre Colomb is positioned at Domaine Bouvet-Jabloir, where he became winemaker and oenologist in 2002 and remains in that role today. The career line is incremental rather than theatrical—study first, then the long repetition of applying that knowledge across seasons.

    Where They Are Now

    The estate describes Colomb's approach as Modernition®, a working method that links modernity and tradition without separating the two. Since taking charge, he has imposed a new style of operation and reasoned cultivation, bringing structure to the estate's daily rhythm. That balance is clearest in oak-aged wines and plot-specific wines from the Signature and Grands Terroirs collections, where parcel and barrel are treated as distinct tools rather than interchangeable parts.

    Signature

    The Signature wines show the range of Colomb's cellar work. Pinot Noir Signature 2023 and Chardonnay Barrique Signature 2021 sit in the space between fruit expression and élevage. Merlot Les Grands Vignes 2022 adds another line to the portfolio, while Chardonnay Grands Terroirs Le Loclat 2021 points more directly to place. Non-filtré 2024 keeps that range current, tied to the estate's ongoing production rather than to a fixed style frozen in time.
