Sandrine Caloz

The Path

Since 2013, Sandrine Caloz has joined her parents in the running of Cave Caloz in Miège. In practice, that means carrying family continuity through daily cellar and vineyard work, where the estate is maintained not as a fixed inheritance but as an active responsibility. The role ties the family business to a working craft, with Sandrine Caloz’s place defined by the labor of keeping the house of wine moving forward.

The Work Today

Organic winegrowing and winemaking frame Sandrine Caloz’s work today. The emphasis is on precision: making wine at the family business in Miège while keeping the vineyard and cellar in close conversation. The organic approach gives the work its structure, and the estate’s daily rhythm keeps it grounded in place, season, and the practical demands of the craft.

Signature

Sandrine's signature wines include Gamay Cave Caloz Sandrine Anne-Carole & Conrad and Syrah, Les Bernunes. Those names point to a cellar language shaped by family and site rather than by ornament. They mark wines that carry the estate’s working identity: specific, named, and tied to the parcels and people behind them.

In Their Words “"It also tells our story of how we live with and experience the vintage with the vines and treat the fruits it gives us with the greatest possible respect."” “"The history of our Alpine valley, the history of our limestone terroir, of our climate which is particularly hot in summer and harsh in winter."” Read together, those lines place the work in a clear frame: the vintage is experienced in step with the vines, the fruit is handled with care, and the valley’s climate and limestone are not backdrop but part of the method.

Acclaim

Sandrine's honors include Vigneron BioSuisse de l'année (Organic Swiss Winemaker of the Year) (2019). It is recognition of an approach that moved into clarity over time: late-found, then firmly established through the working standards of the estate and the consistency of her winemaking.
