Badoux Vins is an estate founded on the steeply terraced vineyards climbing the hills behind the town of Aigle. There are 590 hectares of vines, mainly on light gravel and shale, with southern exposure and warm, dry Foehn winds. The premier cru sites are still under the watchful eye of the estate's founder, Henri Badoux, and he is renowned throughout the world for his critically-acclaimed wines.
