Prestige Pinot Gris Vendanges tardives d'Aigle
Sweet wine | Aigle, Chablais AOC
A precious nectar, which only appears in rare places!
This Pinot Gris captivates with its aromas of Mirabelle plum jam, cooked peach and candied apricot. In the mouth it is voluptuous, enhanced by remarkable acidity! It is rare to meet the conditions, alternating between humidity and dryness, essential for the production of this type of sweet wine. To do this, the “noble rot” – in fact a fungus, Botrytis – must develop and concentrate the grapes in sugars and aromas, for sweet wines of extraordinary complexity!

Only a few terroirs meet the climatic conditions essential for the production of sweet wines. In late autumn, a fungus, Botrytis, develops noble rot, causing a concentration of sugars, tartaric acid, and aromas. The wines are then characterized by a lot of fat, an inimitable smoothness and an extraordinary complexity of aromas and flavors. We have selected the best plot of Pinot gris to produce our Late Harvest, but only in years when weather conditions permit.

Henri Badoux
It was in 1908 that Henri Badoux founded Maison Henri Badoux in Aigle. Its creator and his successors will continue to increase the wine heritage.
Over the decades, the men of Maison Henri Badoux have tamed these terroirs and have been able to adapt to the vagaries of the climate, to bring out with tenacity and know-how, the best of these precious grape varieties.
From this pioneering spirit, passion and conviction were born emblematic wines such as the cult brand Aigle les Murailles.
