    Portrait of David Rossier

    i. Biography

    The Climb

    David Rossier works as the winemaker of Cave David Rossier in Leytron, Switzerland, a role shaped by family continuity as much as by cellar work. Born into a family of winegrowers, he enters the trade with the kind of familiarity that comes from being formed early by vine, harvest, and the routines that govern both. The biography here is built on place and inheritance: a landscape, a cellar, and a name that already belongs on the label.
