i. Biography
Coming Up
At Château Maison Blanche in Yvorne, Thierry Ciampi works in oenology at cellar level, where timing, observation, and method shape what a wine becomes. Since 2002, he has been responsible for the vinifications of Schenk SA in Rolle, a long-term post that points to continuity in process and a steady command of the work. His record also identifies him as chief oenologist, placing his judgment among the central decisions behind the cellar’s output.
Where They Are Now
At Château Maison Blanche, the oenologist’s work is practical before it is anything else: early cellar decisions, vinification choices, and the gradual shaping of a wine’s final expression. Thierry Ciampi’s role sits inside that discipline, where each intervention has to be timed and read against what the fruit is giving back. The work is measured, technical, and dependent on keeping many small adjustments in line with the character the wine is meant to hold. In Rolle, the same discipline extends across Schenk SA. Since 2002, Thierry Ciampi’s name has been tied to the vinifications there, and the title of chief oenologist adds scale to that responsibility. Taken together, the roles describe a career built on consistency of process and trust in execution, with results carried by repetition, not rhetoric.
Signature
The names themselves show the frame of the work: place, designation, and grape variety are doing the heavy lifting, with Château Maison Blanche and Yvorne recurring as the fixed points of the cellar’s language. It is a compact set of wines, but a readable one, built around identity rather than display. Château Maison Blanche Grand Cru Yvorne AOC Chablais 2023 puts vintage and appellation front and center, while Yvorne Blanc "Château Maison Blanche and Château Maison Blanche Savagnin Blanc Grand Cru Yvorne carry the same estate focus into different expressions. Together, they present the clearest outline of Thierry Ciampi’s oenological work: wines grounded in a defined site, handled with control, and presented through a naming system that keeps the source visible.
