Arbois is a white grape variety of French origin, in Touraine. Its name comes from orboué, a local patois word. It is recommended in the departments of Indre, Indre-et-Vallée de la Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Vallée de la Loiret, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne, and is listed as a grape variety in the Touraine, Touraine Sparkling, Cheverny and Valencay AOCs. Arbois is not widely cultivated in France, covering about 650 hectares, 600 of which are in the Loir-et-Cher region. It is a vigorous variety, but moderately productive (40 to 80 hectoliters per hectare). It is part of the grape varieties used for Vouvray, Crémant de la Loire Valley, Cheverny and Valençay wines.

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.
