Les Vins du Valais

Recent

Merlot is among those varieties that ripen somewhat late. It is grown in virtually all major wineproducing areas, including Valais.

It prefers vine parcels that are not too dry. Its ideal growing conditions are clay soils, often at the base of slopes.

It is a charming wine on its own but when blended with others the body and suaveness it offers are incomparable.
