Amigne Sec "1 Abeille," GC de Vétroz, Cave des Tilleuls - 2020

Item # 27944 750mL

Impressive elegance make up this full-bodied Amigne from Vétroz. This vintage yielded a dry version of this luscious white wine (hence the single honey bee on the label), which can be compared to a Chenin Blanc. Rounded dollops of honey play well against grilled nuts, ripe yellow plums and stony acidity. This rich wine pairs with Swiss cheeses very well, Raclette, Vacherin and any Alpine specialties. The Amigne grape is found almost exclusively in the village of Vétroz. Note the indicators of level of sweetness: the symbol of one honey bee indicates a dry version, two bees denote the demi-sec (8 to 25 grams of residual sugar) and three bees represent the ultimate in late harvest with levels of residual sugar in excess of 25 grams.

Staff Pick Notes

Tasting this wine is like licking imperial velvet. Its supple, round, creamy,and full-bodied characteristics offer a textural experience that is sublime. Hailing from the Valais canton of Switzerland, Fabienne Cottagnoud makes this wine with grapes grown on schist, gneiss, and granite soils. The minerality of this particular vineyard shines through in the elegant and subtle flavors of apricot, honey, and hazelnut wrapped in a finely woven blanket of texture. This has some serious mouthfeel! Amigne is a varietal that is in the Vetroz region of the Valais, and is used to make both dry and sweet wines. Fabienne vinifies this Amigne Sec in a dry style. Why not try something somewhat obscure and truly luxurious? This Swiss stunner will greatly reward the curious drinker.
