Fendant
Fendant La Liaudisaz 2021
Varietal : Chasselas
Vineyard of origin : Fully La Liaudisaz
Sold out
Description: Friendly and aperitif wine from Muscat terroirs
Tasting note: The first expression of this Fendant is a very floral frame that reveals elderflower and apricot blossom; then aeration in the glass gives way to a scent of citrus sorbet. Its mouth is round and surprising with a saline finish..
Recommended pairings: Perfect for all aperitifs, as well as pretty fish accompanied by a slightly lemony creamy sauce.
Serving temperature: 6-8°C
Ageing: up to 5 years
Fendant Coteaux de Plamont 2021
Varietal : Chasselas
Vineyard of origin : Fully Plamont
Sold out
Description: Plot wine from a gently sloping loess on granite terroir located at an altitude of 650 meters
Tasting note: Drier and more mineral than the Fendant La Liaudisaz, this one is expressed by very lively notes of lemon but also of lime blossom and toasted bread. Its lemony side gives it a nice minerality and nice light bitterness on the finish. This Fendant is the very expression of a beautiful marriage between terroir and grape variety. It is the granites of the Plamont terroir that give it this verticality.
Recommended pairings: The perch fillets will be its ideal companion or a slightly spicy Thai dish.
Serving temperature: 6-8°C
Ageing: up to 5 years
Sylvaner
Grain Orange 2021
Varietal : Sylvaner
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Description: This 100% Sylvaner cuvée benefited from skin maceration for nearly a month and a half, which explains its color slightly tinged with orange reflections. The vinification was carried out without added sulphites for nearly six months in concrete eggs.
Tasting note: On the nose, it delivers notes of tangerine, frangipane, gentian, white flowers and hints of ginger on the finish.
Recommended pairings: The palate surfs on beautiful bitters that will accompany a scallop carpaccio or a sea bream ceviche.
Serving temperature: 8°C
Ageing: 4 years
White Blend
Grain Cinq Président Troillet 2020
Varietals : Ermitage, Païen, Petite Arvine, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner
Vineyards of origin : Fully Combe d'Enfer, Fully Les Claives
Sold out
Description: Wine from the granitic terroir expressed by a subtle marriage between the Petite Arvine, the Ermitage, the Païen, the Pinot blanc and the Sylvaner, all from the Claives terroir, harvested and vinified together.
Tasting note: This 2020 vintage is an explosion on the nose of orange zest, lychee, apricot kernel but also... hot stones. Our taste buds delight in an elegant woodiness and, despite its young age, it has a patina already well established.
Recommended pairings: Fish as the ideal dish, without forgetting poultry and its mushroom accompaniment.
Serving temperature: 8°C
Ageing: 2-8 years
Rosé
Rosé des Copains 2021
Varietals : Gamay, Pinot Noir
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Sold out
Description: Pinot and Gamay in direct pressing
Tasting note: With its slightly pastel "coral" color, this wine from "friends" expresses itself on a light nose, of pomegranate, cranberries, grapefruit and...more surprisingly...daisies. The mouth is lively and straight.
Recommended pairings: Who says "friends" says... aperitif with tapas and bruschettas and why not, a salad of prawns and its drizzle of olive oil to prolong this moment of sharing.
Serving temperature: 8°C
Ageing: 4 years
Gamay
Grain Gamay Vieilles Vignes 2021
Varietal : Gamay
Vineyard of origin : Fully Les Claives
Sold out
Description: Old Gamay vines on granite, Claives terroir
Tasting note: This Gamay, partially vinified in whole bunches, offers notes of strawberry compote, grenadine with a few bursts of vanilla. On the palate the fruit is fresh and delicious.

Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing:
Pinot Noir
Grain Pinot Les Dahrres 2021
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyard of origin : Chamoson Les Dahrres
Tasting note: Those who appreciate the “smoky” and silky side of this vintage will be thrilled. 2021 delivers a Grain Pinot Les Dahrres which reveals more than ever this beautiful terroir of Chamoson. A crunchy wine with a nose of wild strawberries and raspberries; an elegant woodiness, a delicate and fine color revealed by an ample but also suave mouth. Not necessarily useful to decant the bottle, the pleasure is immediate from the first glass served.
Recommended pairings: Beautiful duck breasts with orange will enhance it.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 3 years
Grain Pinot Chamoson 2021
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyard of origin : Chamoson Champs Les Combes
Tasting notes: The terroirs of Chamoson deliver another great Pinot with this Grain Pinot Chamoson. It could be enjoyed now but we advise you to be patient and know how to forget it in the cellar for three or four years. Its color is dazzling and its nose is a festival of sensations where cherries and currants collide with hints of sweet spices and menthol. The palate is fresh, with raspberry and blackcurrant. The whole is saline and iodized. With this wine, the terroir dominates.
Recommended pairings: It will ideally accompany eggs in meurette or a rare rib of beef.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: to be determined
Grain Pinot Les Esserts 2020
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyard of origin : Charrat Les Esserts
Tasting note: The historic vines of the estate are once again at the rendezvous for this vintage. Blond tobacco, mocha, currant and a hint of vanilla caress your nostrils. The mouth is fleshy while revealing a good length.
Recommended pairings: Let yourself be tempted by a Parisian rib steak or more surprisingly...by a bitter chocolate cake
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 3 years
Grain Pinot Charrat 2020
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyards of origin : Charrat Champ Dury, Charrat Les Esserts
Tasting note: Grain Pinot Charrat is an amazing vintage in its ability to be enjoyed young or to be forgotten in the cellar. The first olfactory notes evoke garrigue, aromatic herbs, raspberry but also licorice stick. The tannins are coated and its patina, already present, will evolve over time.
Recommended pairings: Game meat or chili con carne will be his allies.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 1-8 years
Grain Pinot Champ Dury 2020
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyard of origin : Charrat Champ Dury

Tasting note: The clay-limestone soils of Charrat express themselves with grandeur in this Pinot Noir which opens on a fine and delicate nose of leather, small black fruits, rose and undergrowth. The palate is delicate and the tannins are supple. “Elegance” is the key word for this vintage.
Recommended pairings: It will accompany a veal chop or a mushroom risotto.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 10 years
Syrah
Grain Syrah 2020
Varietal : Syrah
Vineyard of origin : Fully Les Claives
Sold out
Tasting note: It is important to know how to wait for the Syrah, to give it time to express itself in order to better reveal its notes of menthol, violet, fig, hot ashes, all sparse with a hint of vanilla. The palate is ample with its peppery attacks that match the finesse of the tannins.
Recommended pairings: A confit of lamb shank could be the ideal partner.
Serving temperature: 16-17°C

Humagne Rouge
Grain Sauvage 2020
Varietal : Humagne Rouge
Vineyard of origin : Fully Planche Billon
Sold out
Tasting note: This magnificent terroir of Humagne Rouge “Planche Billon”, which overlooks the Combe d’Enfer vineyard, reveals a wine that is produced in only a few copies in magnum format. Its aromas evoke pine sap, bay leaf, ivy and blond tobacco. The touch is delicate in the mouth with some peppery references.
Recommended pairings: Do not hesitate to open this magnum several hours before the tasting, which can be done around a good game meat such as venison medallion.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 10 years
Red Blend
Ma Puinée 2021
Varietals : Gamay, Pinot Noir, Syrah
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Description : "little sister" of the "Dôle" that we want to keep "traditional" in its Pinot-Gamay blend, the 2021 vintage of the Ma Puinée combines Pinot and Gamay, embellished with a hint of Syrah.
Tasting note: The eyes will appreciate its ruby shine, the nose, its variation of red fruits such as very ripe cherry and raspberry, not to mention the aromas of hearth smoke which recall the subtle presence of Syrah. On the palate, we bite into this assortment of red fruits.
Recommended pairings: Let yourself be tempted by a knob of raw ham or a Valais plate to taste it.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 5 years
Dôle La Liaudisaz 2021
Varietals : Gamay, Pinot Noir
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Sold out
Description : 70% Pinot and 30% Gamay are the "traditional" recipe of "La Dôle" for this 2021 vintage.
Tasting note: Entirely de-stemmed, the grape varieties once blended offer a “fresh” wine thanks to the dynamism of the Gamay and “enveloped” by the touch of velvet provided by the Pinot. Here too, the basket of red fruits on the nose and in the mouth is in the spotlight. The tannins are already melted.
Recommended pairings: the delicacy of this Dôle is a call for small pork chops quivering on the barbecue.
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: 10 years
Petit Nature 2021
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Description : Without added sulphites and aged entirely in barrels, the Petit Nature vintage 2021 is 100% Pinot.
Tasting note: It contains less CO2 than in previous years, which gives it a less austere side while having preserved its slightly "beading" side in the mouth with a chewy texture that we appreciate. The nose is a plunge into a basket of red fruits accompanied by a slight subtle woodiness reminiscent of cedar and sandalwood.
Recommended pairings: This small format of 2dl is ideal for the picnic ... and the hiking bag
Serving temperature: 15°C
Ageing: To be determined
Grain Nature 2021
Varietal : Pinot Noir
Vineyard of origin : Charrat Champ Dury
Sold out
Description : 100% Pinot, aged in barrels and without added sulphites, the 2021 vintage is rich in aromas.
Tasting note: The nose is a basket of gourmet fruits where blueberries, sour cherries, strawberries in a cauldron, all embellished with a hint of liquorice and even brandy. The mouth is ample and the natural side excites the taste buds.
Recommended pairings: Accompanied by a Basque piperade, the explosion of flavors will be waiting for you.
Serving temperature: 15°C
La Petite Grange 2020
Varietals : Diolinoir, Gallota, Gamaret, Pinot Noir
Vineyards of origin : several different vineyard plots
Sold out
Tasting notes: The vintages follow one another and end up resembling each other for this blending vintage whose first note could evoke Provence and its scrubland. In 2021, Pinot Noir rubbed shoulders with Gamaret, Galotta and Diolinoir. To the evocations of the garrigue are added notes of prune, very ripe black fruits but also tonka bean.
Since 2019 we have extended the aging of this cuvée, which allows you to perceive much more supple tannins in the mouth.
Wine pairings: To accompany with parsley ham or a very nice charcuterie platter.
Grain Mariage 2020
Varietals : Cornalin, Humagne Rouge
Vineyard of origin : Leytron Champs Longs
Sold out
Tasting note: In this vintage, the Humagne rouge and the Cornalin blend almost equally. The limestone terroirs of Leytron give it a nose expressing violet, morello cherry and eucalyptus. The palate will know how to recognize the black cherry and will be surprised by pretty bitters on the finish, all for a supple mouth.
Recommended pairings: Pair it...with grilled herb rib steaks on the barbecue.
Serving temperature: 16°C
Ageing: 5 years
Sweet Wines
Grain Noble Président Troillet Petite Arvine 2019
Varietal : Petite Arvine
Vineyard of origin : Fully Les Claives
Sold out
Tasting note: The 2018 vintage of Grain Noble was unique because of its blend (Marsanne, Arvine and Malvoisie). The Grain Noble 2019 is mono-varietal and always requires at least two years of aging in barrels. Petite Arvine is therefore the grape variety that we invite you to discover in its botrytised version. Straightforwardness and perfect balance are the hallmarks of this vintage despite its 140 grams of residual sugar. The nose is a journey around roasted apricot, mango, lemon verbena or Mirabelle plum. The palate is supple and “pastry-like”.
Recommended pairings: For dessert, we will think of the lemon meringue pie; On the cheese side, the pairing will be divine with a blue like the Stilton and finally for lovers of good cigars, a Cohiba will be a perfect match for the end of the meal.
Serving temperature: 8°C
Ageing: 20 years
