Discover the grape variety: Golden muscat

Aromatic, sweet and original whites with a pale golden color, supple palate and variable acidity, offering intense signature aromas of muscat, fresh grapes, white flowers and characteristic foxy notes (typical of Vitis labrusca, reminiscent of strawberry and candy). An exotic, indulgent profile. Grown in the north-east USA (New York) and widely exported to Japan for sweet wines, sparkling and table grape consumption. American hybrid created in 1925.

The wine region of Chamoson

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).

The wine region of Valais

Switzerland's largest vineyard, capital of native grapes. Straight, precise alpine whites: light, floral Chasselas (Fendant), signature Petite Arvine with saline, grapefruit and rhubarb notes, rich, apricoty Amigne, mineral Humagne Blanche. Altitude reds: fine Pinot Noir, crisp Gamay, native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge, spicy and deep. Highly precise alpine age-worthy wines.
