Discovering the wine region of Leytron
Swiss commune in Lower Valais (~269 ha), limestone and morainic slopes at the foot of the Alps. Humagne Blanche is the flagship native white (Leytron claims its cradle, celebrated in November): ample with notes of linden, cut hay, citrus, peach, honey and a mineral touch, fresh acidity and length. Saline Petite Arvine and floral Fendant as complements. Supple Pinot Noir and Gamay, spicy native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge in the reds.
Pure Alpine identity.
Discover the grape variety: Petit Verdot
Dark, full-bodied reds with tight tannins and inky colour, showing aromas of blackberry, violet, gentle spice, liquorice and mentholated balsamic notes. Contributes colour, structure and aromatic freshness to great Médoc blends (Palmer, Léoville-Las Cases) where it remains a minority. Also vinified as a single variety in Spain (La Mancha), California, Australia and Argentina. A late-ripening Bordeaux variety.
