i. Biography
Claude-Alain Chollet’s work sits at the junction of vineyard and cellar: vigneron encaveur indépendant at Domaine des Champs-Lingot in Anières, Switzerland. Since 1990, that dual remit has defined the shape of his career. It is a profile built less on movement than on continuity, with one estate, one place, and one sustained practice over time.
The Climb
Since 1990, the work of vigneron and vigneron encaveur indépendant at Domaine des Champs-Lingot has been Claude-Alain Chollet’s responsibility. The span matters. Decades in Anières give the title its weight, because the role asks for attention in two directions at once: the vines outside and the cellar work that follows. That kind of continuity does not announce itself loudly; it accrues through seasons, repetition, and close familiarity with a single domaine. The title vigneron encaveur indépendant points to a craft that covers both production and shaping. In Chollet’s case, it has been tied to Domaine des Champs-Lingot since 1990, with Anières as the fixed setting for the work. The significance lies in the long holding of one post, where the estate frames the practice and the practice, in turn, defines the career.
Today
He remains the vigneron encaveur indépendant at Domaine des Champs-Lingot in Anières. The defining fact of the role is still the same: a long association with one estate, sustained since 1990. In an industry where movement is often treated as advancement, Chollet’s path is measured by duration, by the discipline of staying with the same place and carrying its work forward over time.
