Petite Arvine 2024

The winemaker Valentina Andrei settled in Valais (Switzerland) after formative experiences at Domaine de Beudon and alongside Marie-Thérèse Chappaz, which shaped her commitment to high-precision and often biodynamic viticulture.

The wine “Petite Arvine” is made from the native Valais grape, grown on the Le Salo plot in Martigny, on granitic soils and steep terraces inaccessible to machinery. It reflects Valentina Andrei’s artisanal approach: gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and mixed ageing in both barrels and stainless-steel tanks.

Appearance: pale yellow color with greenish reflections, bright and vibrant.

Nose: floral elegance and mineral notes, citrus, white fruits, with refined freshness. 

Palate: direct attack, strong tension with balanced acidity, a finish with subtle bitterness that confirms its distinct character. 

Food pairings: excellent with seafood (scallops, prawns), grilled fish, fresh alpine cheeses, or a light raclette. 

Serving temperature: ideally between 8 °C and 12 °C.
