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.
