Domaine de Chèrouche

Heroic viticulture

It is between 550 and 850 meters of altitude, that Andrea and Marc take care of the Domaine de Chèrouche, in Valais, since 2010. At the beginning, nothing predestined them to become winemakers. Andrea, a teacher in the Zurich region, and Marc, a hotel manager in the canton of Geneva, met in 2007, during the harvest, and decided to buy their own vineyards... 1.2 hectares between Fully and Ayent. Since then, they have refocused their vineyards around the estate, on the heights of Sion, in Ayent.

A heroic mountain viticulture, which gives pride of place to local grape varieties and blends. The vineyards are managed in an organic and biodynamic way, in order to respect the plant and its environment. In the vineyards, sulfur and copper are used in "homeopathic" doses.

The work in the cellar, meticulous and precise, gives birth to wines full of finesse, true messengers of this so particular soil. Amigne, Petite Arvine, Pinot Noir, or Gamay, as many discoveries to be made... The wines are lively, full of energy and both the whites and the reds are a real pleasure to taste.
