Discover the grape variety: Grosse Arvine
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers – a less distinctive profile than Petite Arvine. More productive. Almost absent from commercial cultivation, preserved in Valaisan variety collections for its heritage value and ampelographic interest. A rare Valaisan white grape, cousin of Petite Arvine, grown in negligible quantities in Valais.

Refined Pinot Noir in reds and rosés (cherry, raspberry, peony, violet) evolving on undergrowth and spice. AOC (1959), ~630 ha on Kimmeridgian marls of Saint-Doulchard, degraded oceanic climate.
The wine region of Loire Valley
Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
