Fin Bec: collection of French and Swiss wines Print

Marriage along the Rhône

ImageAfter having stored barrels of over matured wines all winter in a cave located in the heart of the Rhône glacier, Yvo Mathier remains faithful to the Rhône. The enthusiastic owner of the Fin Bec cellar in Sion has indeed launched a French-Swiss wine born from the collection of vines whose common feature is that they grow along the Rhône. Is it then a simple publicity stunt for the Fin Bec team? Jane Masters, seasoned oenologist, doesn't think so: to someone who has joined the team for this project, the collection allows a complementarity between the vines and the regions. The Swiss vines provide freshness and balance; the French grapes bring power and structure. Then, if this somewhat broader vision of the wine region does not stop you, do not hesitate to taste the "Fin Bec Mer", a mixture of Chardonnay, Petite Arvine, Valaisian Chasselas and French Viognier, or the "Fin Bec Terre" which combines Cabernet Sauvignon and black Pinot from the Valais with Syrah and Grenache from the Rhône Valley.
