The most precious of Valaisan oenological treasures thrives on the slope of the Vétroz village. The greenish-yellow slightly oval bays ripen at the end of autumn in this corner of the Alps.  Delicate and fragile, they are responsible for the enormous success of its apricot and citrus fruit flavours.

The Amigne, because of its ability to over-ripen, gives rise to syrupy wines of very great potential.  These delights, picked in winter, should not lead to the oversight of the splendid dry white wines that the encaveurs get by harvesting in September.
