Maurice Gay 1883, Johannisberg

White wine | Valais AOC

A Johannis going well!
This Johannisberg – the Valais name for Sylvaner – is very expressive, fruity and floral, with beautiful mineral notes. On the palate we find the typical fullness of the grape variety, rich, with generous fruit and almond flavors. The finish is distinguished, completed by a touch of bitterness. A dry white wine to enjoy as an aperitif, or, better, with asparagus or sauerkraut!

Cave St-Pierre

Cave St-Pierre

It's the wine at the heart of the Valais. It's the sky, powerful, indomitable. The earth in the hollow of this valley is rich. The stone, the mountains that rise like statues several kilometres into the air. The know-how of those who work the vines and the traditional grape varieties with love. A sip that expresses all this intensely. Give in to the temptation of the terroir in its raw state.
