Simon Bagnoud

Coming Up

Swiss wine education sits at the base of Simon Bagnoud’s practice. Training at CFC in viticulture at Châteauneuf, then at École d'ingénieur de Changins, gave the work its technical frame: method, exactitude, and a working command of place. Those studies are the kind that build a winemaker’s hand before public profile, and they explain the measured tone of Bagnoud’s output. Since 2015, Simon Bagnoud has been co-founder and owner of Bagnoud Vins, a position that ties the cellar to long-term responsibility in the vineyard.

Where They Are Now

Site-based winemaking is central to the present work at the Valençon site, where Simon Bagnoud has also been co-founder since 2015. That kind of role asks for more than label-building: it means keeping creation, stewardship, and identity in the same frame, with the site’s details carrying real weight in the final wine. The through-line is clear from Châteauneuf to Changins to Valençon, with training translated into daily decisions rather than left as background. The result is a practice built on continuity, where each stage reinforces the one before it.

Signature

Verjus is named among Simon Bagnoud’s signature wines, and that choice points to a style meant to be read plainly, without excess. In a portfolio, a named wine like Verjus carries the clearest evidence of direction: the work behind it, the discipline of training, and the way ownership shapes decisions in the cellar. For Simon Bagnoud, signature is less about display than about making a wine that reflects the same precision and focus that define the rest of the practice.
