    Portrait of Olivier Jacquod

    i. Biography

    Olivier Jacquod has been winemaker at Cave de Goubing in Sierre since 2007, working from a cellar set within one of Valais’s most closely watched wine landscapes. That long run has given the name a steady place in the region: not a winemaker built on flash, but on continuity, season after season, and on a style drawn from the place itself. The wines are developed mainly from his own estate fruit, which keeps vineyard and cellar in close alignment and puts the fruit’s character at the center of the work.

The wines themselves frame the work most clearly, especially the names that have become most closely associated with Jacquod. Petite Arvine and Ermitage Valais sit at the center of that signature, pointing to a cellar focused on varieties that carry their origin plainly. The emphasis is narrow by design: a deliberate concentration on grapes that can show the identity of the region without distraction.
