i. Biography

Vincent Papilloud works as winemaker at Cave du Vieux Moulin – Famille Papilloud in Vétroz, Switzerland. The point of the role is not breadth but continuity: one estate, one family name, one cellar. In Valais, where vineyard and cellar are read together, that kind of fixed position matters. The work is to keep the wines aligned to place and to the standards of the house, without losing the precision that makes the estate legible in the glass.
