The Humagne Rouge not only has an obscure history, but it also strives to disguise itself in order to confuse those who are interested in deciphering it. Compared to the Oriou, the Humagne Blanche and the Petit Rouge, the Humagne Rouge recently underwent DNA tests to reveal its true identity.

Elusive from a linguistic point of view, the Humagne Rouge surely doesn't deserve this description on the oenological chart. Rustic and wild, it seduces or revolts, but it doesn't leave you indifferent. Full of unexpected flavours for a full-bodied red wine, this unknown vine outside Le Valais has attracted an ever-growing number of connoisseurs.
