Discover the grape variety: Aubun
Aubun is not to be confused with another grape variety with the same sound, aubin. This one is a black grape plant of which the Vaucluse is the probable cradle. Covering nearly 5,400 hectares of vineyards in the late 1990s, its cultivation was reduced to some 1,400 hectares in the mid-2000s. California and Australia also have discreet plantations. In the Var, Lot-et-Garonne, Gers, Ardèche and other departments, aubun is authorized, if not recommended. Its third-period ripeness promises medium to large bunches of compact, cylindrical grapes that will produce medium-quality wine. Quite alcoholic, the wine produced from Aubun is a lightly colored red. After budburst, the shoots bear young branches covered with a cottony veil. The young leaves are yellowish and downy. The older ones have pubescent, cottony blades with 5 to 7 limbs.

The wine region of Valais
The Valais is the largest wine region and appellation in Switzerland, responsible for around one third of the country's total wine production. The main Vineyard area covers the southeast-facing slopes of the dramatic Rhône river valley as the glacial waters run southwest between Leuk (Loeche in French) and Fully. The river changes direction at Martigny and then runs northwest to exit the valley and empty into Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). Vineyard area here comes to around 4,800 hectares (11,800 acres) and is generally located on (often steep) slopes and terraces between the flat, fertile, Heavy soils at the bottom of the valley - often given over to fruit production, industry and urban development - and the bare rock of the mountainside that towers above.
The word of the wine: Private cellar
