“An explosion of flavors that unfold with extraordinary precision and purity: a true Favorite Paris 2026!”

"The 2021 Arvine has a clear, deep, and serene nose that is both intense and elegant, blending fresh aromas of lime and lemon with notes of lees and flint. It is very elegant and refined on the palate, with ripe, juicy fruit and a well-balanced body. This is an intense, concentrated, and balanced Petite Arvine, featuring fine tannins, ripe and briny acidity, and a stimulating briny finish. It is still young but displays great class and beautiful structure. The finish of this slow-evolving wine is very long and suggests excellent aging potential. 13.3% alcohol by volume. Natural cork. Tasted in Vétroz, March 2025. 2025–2035” (Robert Parker 2025)
