Switzerland

Wild aromas, spicy and sauvage. Nutmeg, then pink peppercorns come with air. There's warmth and generosity of fruit on the palate, and a lovely woody (not oaky) side to the aromas and flavours. Slightly warming alcohol even, which is surprisring for a cool climate region. Good length of fruit and spice. Should age well, but is very good now. Winemaker is Alexandre Delétraz; the vines are located on the Leytron hillside in Les Prix, and in Fully, on the terraces of Les Follatères in Follatères-Fully. Gneiss soils; 70% whole bunch, no new oak.
