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.
