Wines made from Gamaret grapes of Chamoson
Discover the best wines made with Gamaret as a single variety or as a blend of Chamoson.
Structured, colourful reds with a dense purple robe and firm tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, spices and peppery notes. Fresh acidity, good performance in oak ageing. Made as a single-variety ageing wine and in many premium Swiss blends with Garanoir, Gamay and Pinot Noir. Star of modern reds from Vaud, Geneva and Valais. A Gamay × Reichensteiner cross created in 1970 at the Pully research station (Switzerland).
Largest wine-producing commune in Swiss Valais, ~400 ha between 450 and 750 m on sun-drenched Alpine foothills (~2,500 h/yr). Signature Petite Arvine reigns in white on Haut-de-Cry: aromatic and saline with signature notes of grapefruit, rhubarb, white flowers, wisteria and a finely salted mineral touch, taut, lingering palate — the queen of Valais. Chasselas (Fendant) terroir-driven. Fine Pinot Noir, supple Gamay, ample Johannisberg (Sylvaner).
