Launched in September 2021, the Escargot Rouge was born from the desire to promote the red wines of the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland by creating a brand that meets the expectations of consumers. On the one hand, this brand highlights the know-how and quality of Vaud wines. On the other hand, it demonstrates that the canton of Vaud, known mainly for its white wines, also produces excellent reds. The Escargot Rouge is now available in two ranges: “Original”, round and fruity, and “Sélection”, powerful and aged in barrels. As a guarantee of quality, the wine must be certified by experts in the vat and then in the bottle before it can be marketed.
