The wine region of Leytron

Swiss commune in Lower Valais (~269 ha), limestone and morainic slopes at the foot of the Alps. Humagne Blanche is the flagship native white (Leytron claims its cradle, celebrated in November): ample with notes of linden, cut hay, citrus, peach, honey and a mineral touch, fresh acidity and length. Saline Petite Arvine and floral Fendant as complements. Supple Pinot Noir and Gamay, spicy native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge in the reds.

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: Trimming

A vineyard operation consisting of pruning the upper part of the branches after lifting, either manually or using a trimming machine attached to a high-clearance tractor.
