Solemn dark purple color with multiple tiled flashes. Voluptuous, the bouquet opens with scents of red fruits (dominated by morello cherry) macerated in alcohol, with scents of spices (curry, ginger) and smoked licorice. In the mouth, from the attack to the finish, its silky texture with tannins well softened by barrel aging displays all its sweetness. On the palate, kirsch, tapenade, liquorice, patinated wood and flint linger on the taste buds.

Producer Information

The winery “Ren Favre & Fils SA” in the small municipality of Saint-Pierre-de-Clages in the canton of Valais is located in French-speaking Switzerland. It is run by the brothers Mike and Jean-Charles Favre. Mike is General Secretary of the International Union of Oenologists and President of the Mondial du Pinot Noir Fair. The vineyards cover 13 hectares of vines with 78 plots. The autochthonous varieties are cultivated in particular, above all Arvine, as well as Humagne Rouge (Cornalin) and Goron de Bovernier. Other international varieties are Chardonnay, Fendant(Chasselas), Gamay, Johannisberg (Silvaner), Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Premium wines of the house are a white wine made from 70-year-old Petite Arvine vines in some cases, as well as red wines made from Pinot Noir such as the barrique-aged and unfiltered “La Renomme Saint-Pierre” from vines with extremely low yields. Fine brandies such as apricot, apple and Williams pear brandy, as well as Marc (marc brandy) are also produced.
