Valais Grain Mariage Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Domaine Des Claives

The wine

Cette cuvée est un assemblage de cépages typiques du Valais : cornalin et humagne rouge. Elle provient du vignoble Leytron Champs Longs, dont le terroir est calcaire. Le sol est travaillé une ligne sur deux, laissant libre cours aux fleurs et herbes sur l'autre ligne. La culture est biologique et biodynamique. La vinification se fait en grappe entière pour l'humagne rouge (le cornalin étant égrappé), en cuve.
Au nez, le vin exhale des notes de cerise confite, amandes, épices douces. En bouche, le vin est gourmand malgré ce côté rustique. Les tannins sont fins, c'est une cuvée particulièrement volumineuse, à servir à 16°C.

Information about domain Chappaz

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz took over the running of the domain in 1987, which at the time was composed of a hectare and a half of vines in the Valais in Switzerland. She has expanded the domain – now 10 hectares – spread out in a patchwork of small parcels on hillsides, at between 400 and 600 metres above sea level. The vineyard has Demeter biodynamic certification. This renowned winemaker has been recognized for contributing to the reputation of Swiss wines: in 1996, she was named ‘winemaker of the year’ by Gault&Millau, then ‘icon of Swiss wine’ in 2016. She produces exceptional biodynamic wines. The domaine is particularly known for its production of Petite Arvine, a very rare white grape variety native to Switzerland.
