Valais Diolinoir 2018
Diolonoir: another grape variety typical of Switzerland. Dark and purple color, brilliant. On the nose, black fruits (blackcurrant) dominate. It's a superb balance between density and freshness. With a good length, this is a wine that can age pleasantly over 5, 8 years.

Trésors de Famille Cornalin
Nice full-bodied Swiss red wine from the Valais region. Cornalin is an interesting red grape, allegedly from Northern Italy origins. Dark fruits dominate, with a distinctive earthiness and some anise on the finish. Very nice. — 6 years ago

Romain Fitoussi
A fresh and subtle expression of Merlot. A grape variety that is essentially round, in the Swiss region of Valais 🇨🇭 It is adorned with an attack giving it the freshness that it sometimes lacks to me. The typical elegant notes of the region are on caramel, liquorice, or spearmint (!). Well balanced. Very pleasant.
Une expression fraîche et tout en nuance du Merlot. Cépage rond par essence, dans la région suisse du Valais 🇨🇭 Il se pare d’une attaque lui procurant la fraîcheur acidulée qui lui manque parfois. Les notes d’elegages typiques de la région sont sur le caramel, réglisse, ou menthe verte (!). Bien equilbré. Très agréable. — 5 years ago
