Valais – Humagne Blanche – Cave Chevalier Bayard 2022
Grape variety: 100% Humagne Blanche
Features :
Discreet yet unique, this vintage reveals a light color with silver highlights. The subtle nose opens with delicate floral aromas (elderflower, chamomile), accompanied by notes of fresh pear and alpine herbs. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: a supple attack, a crystalline texture, and a slightly saline finish that elegantly prolongs the tasting. A white wine of character, full of finesse and purity.
Food and Wine Pairings:
Ideal with lake fish (perch, Arctic char), shellfish, or even hard cheeses like mountain tomme. Its minerality also pairs very well with refined vegetarian dishes or simple and tasty Alpine cuisine.
The Estate:
Located in the heart of Valais, Cave Chevalier Bayard is one of the region's iconic family estates. For several generations, it has cultivated indigenous grape varieties with meticulous care and respect for the terroir. Humagne Blanche, one of the oldest Valais grape varieties, is delicately vinified here to express its full potential, in a style that is both authentic and modern.
