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.
The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
