Château de Valeyres - Benjamin Morel

La cave du Château de Valeyres is located in the village of Valeyres-sous-Rances in the heart of the Côtes de l’Orbe vineyards. Managed by Benjamin Morel, who works closely with Frédéric Hostettler, the cellar offers traditional and quality wines.

Benjamin Morel studied wine growing and oenology and after having spent several years travelling through the vineyards of the world took over the estate in 2004. In order to enhance the quality of the wines and to promote the produce of the Côtes de l’Orbe he introduced some radical changes.

This led him to collaborate with Frédéric Hostettler, master winemaker and oenologist, culminating in the creation of the product family “Confidentiel” - wines of a much greater complexity.

The cellar is open on Saturday mornings or during the week by appointment. Wine tastings are organised for up to 30 people in the cellar bar.

Authentic top quality wines produced and matured by enthusiasts, together with the warmest of welcomes, define the philosophy of the Château de Valeyres.
