Discover the grape variety: Humagne blanche
Structured, original whites with a golden robe, ample palate and fresh alpine acidity, showing aromas of yellow fruits (pear, quince), candied citrus, linden, honey, white flowers and mineral notes with a slightly bitter finish. Reputed tonic, once given to new mothers. Discreet star of the Valais hillsides (Sierre, Sion, Conthey). Autochthonous Valais variety, one of Switzerland's oldest (recorded since the 14th century), with no link to humagne rouge.

The wine region of Monterey
Vast AVA of the Salinas Valley in California (~40,000 ac, AVA 1984), a natural funnel cooled by Pacific breezes: ultra-dominant Chardonnay signature as the white king (~50%) — vivid, citrus and white fruits, dazzling acidity. Pinot Noir and Riesling on cool coastal sectors, fine and taut. Further south, warm sectors for structured Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel. Includes Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Bernabe, Burgundian and sun-drenched identity.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
