Cave des Amandiers - Syrah 2019

"The Syrah from this estate has already been voted one of the 60 best Syrahs in the world by RVF!"

"A beautifully defined bouquet, where intensity and subtlety go hand in hand! Just like the spicy and fruity nuances that come together. A veritable melting pot where everything comes together. The wine reveals itself step by step, in a relevant and convincing manner. In the mouth, the palate assumes the promises of the bouquet with serenity and sovereignty. It shines with balance, power and precision. A wine of character that underlines the ability of the grape variety, and of the winemaker, to produce great wines. Both are brilliant. (Yves Beck 2023)

Cave des Amandiers - Cornalin 2018

5/5 (1 review)

"the dark red-colored Cornalin de Fully 2018 opens with an intense, concentrated, perfectly ripe background, a pure, floral nose with spicy cigar box and licorice aromas as well as hints of black berries, cherries and nougat. [...] This red wine from the Alps has intense, long-lasting fruity aromas, but also floral aromas and a unique freshness and vitality that come from both the land and the climate. This is an extraordinary alpine red with fine bitters and very good ageing potential." (Wine Advocate 2021)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Grain Ermitage Président Troillet 2018

4/5 (1 review)

"The wine has a bright citrus color and opens with a super-clear, elegant and complex bouquet of crushed stones and bright, ripe fruit aromas. [...] this is a subtle, clear and refreshing chasselas, elegant, textured and structured with a stimulating, dynamic and saline finish. The wine is vibrantly fresh, despite having undergone malolactic fermentation and fermented in two stages, autumn 2018 and spring/summer 2019." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Grain Pinot Charrat 2018

4/5 (1 review)

"The 2018 Grain Pinot Charrat is fresh, precise and spicy on the nose but also a little fleshy and open. On the palate, it's ripe, lush and solidly structured pinot with a fresh, saline finish, woody tannins and chocolate flavors.." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Dôle de Liaudisaz 2018

3/5 (2 reviews)

"Swiss Grape Varieties

"The bouquet is bright, pure, supple and fresh, showing notes of crushed and weathered stones. On the palate, it's a fresh, pure, intense red with a silky texture, finely crisp tannins and a straightforward character with a salty, spicy finish. Watermarked again and highly refined." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Grain Arvine de Fully 2018 (doux)

"An exceptional wine

"Chappaz's 2018 Grain Arvine de Fully is slightly sweet, but what an amazing, bright, sparkling wine! The bouquet is bright as a sunny Valais winter day, smelling of gunpowder-like flint and bright, precise fruit aromas. [...] The palate is lush, intense and concentrated, but also pure and spicy. The finish is very elegant, with perfectly ripe, intense fruit, but the mineral framework ultimately plays the leading role. It's so saline, and the sweetness is just ripe fruit. The finish is extremely long. This is a world-class wine between the worlds of dry and sweet. [...] The finish of this Arvine is extremely long, complex and saline, with great purity, precision and freshness." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Taster)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Grain Pinot Champ Dury 2018

4.7/5 (3 reviews)

"From the left bank of the Rhône, Marie-Thérèse Chappaz's dark-colored 2018 Grain Pinot Champ Dury opens with a very ripe, less concentrated bouquet with more plum notes. [...] The plum nose leads to a warm, intense and round palate with super ripe and sweet fruit, structured by ripe tannins and a firm minerality that, in fact, gives hope for the future." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Grain Noble Petite Arvine 2016 (liquoreux)

"Cuvée star!

Le Grain Noble, made from the native Petite Arvine grape variety, expresses all the sweetness and wisdom of Marie-Thèrese Chappaz with a fine, complex palate of exotic fruit and quince, with a fresh, light texture. A must-have!

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz - Fendant Coteaux de Plamont 2018

"The wine has a bright citrus color and opens with a super-clear, elegant and complex bouquet of crushed stones and bright, ripe fruit aromas. [...] this is a subtle, clear and refreshing chasselas, elegant, textured and structured with a stimulating, dynamic and saline finish. The wine is vibrantly fresh, despite having undergone malolactic fermentation and fermented in two stages, autumn 2018 and spring/summer 2019." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)
