At Matière, with Passeur de Vin founder Emmanuel Heydens, everything takes on a different dimension. Especially when a 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges from Domaine Prieuré Roch is invited to the table.

What an opportunity to be in this profession! The chance to interact with those who, every day, shape the face of Geneva’s food and wine scene and help make our City of Calvin a culinary and wine destination in its own right.

For this latest episode of our Bottle Talk, I had the pleasure and privilege of sharing a meal at Matière with Emmanuel Heydens, founder of Passeur de Vin in Geneva. Quite simply, a benchmark. Over thirty years of thinking about, defending and transmitting wine. I’d been waiting for this moment for a long time. It lived up to all its promises, supported by a 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges from the domaine Prieuré Rochas precise as it was moving. Enjoy. Enjoy. Taste.
