Petite Arvine 2016 , Les Titans, 93 Punkte
The still-young 2016 Petite Arvine Grande Dixene Les Titans is clear, well-balanced and elegant on the bright and aromatic yet also mineral and herbal nose. On the palate, this is a dense, intense and concentrated, finely tannic, subtly fresh and very well-balanced wine with remarkable mineral freshness, tension, finesse and salinity. A gorgeous, balanced and elegant classic. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted in July 2019.

Pinot Noir Tournelette 2018, Les Domaines92 Punkte
The 2018 Pinot Noir Domaine de la Tournelette opens deep, clear, fresh and aromatic on the nose, displaying black berry, cassis and licorice aromas. Dense and creamy on the palate, this is a full-bodied, ripe and fiery but also fresh, pure and tensioned Pinot from the Bishops' vineyard. Partly from Burgundy clones, it has firm and fresh tannins. This is an excellent Pinot Noir from the Valais. Tasted in July 2019.

Heida Chapitre 2017, Les Domaines92 Punkte
Cellar master Damien Carruzzo's 2017 Heida Domaine du Chapitre de la Cathédrale opens with a ripe, intense pear and tropical fruit bouquet. From steep, south-facing terraces on calcareous schist soils below the village of Sion, and aged in amphorae, this is a full-bodied, rich, elegant and well-balanced Savagnin with persistent aromatic fruit and good underpinning acidity. The finish is salty, fresh and piquant, with lingering mineral character and remarkable finesse. A stunningly good wine from 20-year-old vines. Bottled in June 2018, tasted in January 2019.

Pinot Noir de Beuble 2018, Les Domaines, 91 Punkte
"The art of making fine Pinot Noir is to keep the freshness," says charismatic young winemaker Ilona Thétaz who, unfortunately, left Provins at the end of last year to, luckily, start her own domaine. The first vintage of the new, purer and fresher Pinot style was 2017, which she says is edgier than 2018. Bottled a couple of weeks before I tasted it in July last year, the 2018 Pinot Noir Domaine de Beuble comes from the higher altitudes of the massif du Malm (Vétroz) and opens with a very spicy yet refreshing red and dark berry aroma intertwined with licorice and violet aromas. On the palate, this is a dense, ripe and concentrated yet refreshing and vitalizing Pinot with remarkable tension, grip and energy. The wine has fine and spicy tannins, a puristic and concentrated character and keeps its freshness from the beginning to the end. This is a great, ripe and authentic Pinot Noir from the Alps. There is no Burgundy even on the mind. Superb!

ECLAT 2017, Valais Mundi, 91 Punkte
Blending 95% Petite Arvine and 5% Heida (a.k.a. Savagnin), the 2017 Eclat is precise and fresh on the floral (broom) nose. Based on the cuve part of the whole-bunch pressing, this is an elegant, intense, spicy, fresh and persistent Petite Arvine. Almost entirely fermented in strongly toasted barriques (except for a 225-liter stainless steel vat), this is a full-bodied, intense yet fresh and coolish white wine that is far too young to shine in its full glory just now. It reminds me of some of the Manfred Zierock (Dolomytos) wines in the Alto Adige region about 20 years ago. This one is 12.9% alcohol, because it was picked even earlier than Chasselas to get an untamed and refreshing character. It's a blend from different terroirs and soils and has bitter lemon flavors on the aftertaste. Tasted in July 2019.

Petite Arvine 2018, Maître de Chais, 90 Punkte
The 2018 Petite Arvine Maître de Chais is the 49th vintage since 1950 and offers a clear, fresh and intense bouquet with ripe citrus fruit aromas. Full-bodied and round on the palate, this is a dense, rich and powerful yet structured and sustainable Arvine with nice bitters but also a certain sweetness on the finish. Tasted in January 2020.
