Discover the best wines made with Pinot blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Conthey.
Round, supple whites with a soft palate, showing discreet aromas of apple, pear, fresh almond, white flowers and brioche notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. Star of Crémant d'Alsace (fine, taut sparkling) and base of Edelzwicker. Grown in Germany (Weissburgunder, Baden-Württemberg), northern Italy (Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige), Austria and Luxembourg. A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
Grand Cru AOC commune of central Valais (terraces at the foot of the Haut de Cry), dry microclimate with Foehn winds favouring late-ripening varieties. Chasselas (Fendant) as the signature white — lively and mineral with citrus, white flowers and an alpine saline touch. Pinot Noir and Gamay (Dôle) as supple reds with red fruits and a spiced touch. Typed native varieties: Petite Arvine, Amigne, Humagne and Cornalin.
