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: Cup (size in)
Specific to the Mediterranean vineyard, this short pruning which opens the stock in the shape of a corolla offers a good resistance to violent winds but does not allow any mechanization of the vine work.
