Andrea Grossmann

Coming Up

Training in the Zurich region sits behind a path that also ran through teaching, painting, and vineyard and cellar work in Lausanne, Switzerland. Those parallel disciplines point to a practice built on attention, patience, and manual skill rather than a single track. Since 2010, Andrea has been winemaker of Domaine de Chèrouche, where the role is tied to the estate’s steep terrain and to work that stays close to the vines and the seasons.

Where They Are Now

At Domaine de Chèrouche in Ayent, Valais, Switzerland, the cellar and vineyard are shaped by slope, timing, and handwork. The setting leaves little room for excess, so the method stays direct: careful cultivation, a natural approach, and a preference for clarity over intervention. Andrea Grossmann’s wines sit in that frame, with the fruit and structure of the Valais held in a deliberately restrained style.

Signature

Andrea's signature wines include Le Piry, Amigne "Echert, Les Noces, L'Ayentôt, and Le Clos. Together, these names sketch a portfolio rooted in the estate’s landscape and in the local grape varieties that define it. Each wine carries its own expression, yet all belong to the same broad gesture: a style that is attentive to origin, faithful to the work in the vineyard, and shaped by the disciplined hand of Domaine de Chèrouche. In the glass, the effect is less about ornament than about the quiet confidence of wines made in direct conversation with their surroundings.
