Discover the grape variety: Petit Meslier
Crisp, taut dry whites with a pale golden robe, a slender palate and a razor-sharp acidity of discreet citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers and chalky mineral notes. Ideal profile for sparkling base wines, adding tension and length. A traditional minor component of Champagne AOC, preserved by growers loyal to historic varieties (arbane, pinot blanc, pinot gris). Rare native Champenois grape.

The wine region of Saint-Leonard
Exceptional hillside in the central Valais between Sion and Sierre (right bank of the Rhône), chalky-gravelly soils and record sunshine (2,000 h/year). Fendant (Chasselas) dominates as the signature white — taut with white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, almond and a characteristic chalky mineral touch. Pinot Noir is the signature red — elegant and silky with red fruits and a spicy touch. Petite Arvine, Cornalin, Humagne, Syrah and Fumin as complements.
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: Fulfilled
Said of a wine at its peak that is balanced and offers all its aromatic potential.
