Domain: Phusis, S. Bettschen
Grape variety(ies): Humagne rouge
On-call time: 15 years
Alcohol degree: 12%

Medium garnet-red, slightly purplish, slightly opalescent. The first nose evokes the freshness of fern and the forest in spring. This is followed by a whole range of wild berries, brambles, violets, sweet wood and white pepper. The palate is clean, full and very slightly perlage. A little wild in its aromas, the body is athletic, tight, not very thick but long and very centred. Long, invigorating finish, finely tannic, with real freshness.

Viticulture

This cuvée comes from the Sensine vineyard in Conthey, in the Valais.

Oenology

The harvest took place on 9 September and measured 87°Oe. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, with around 20% whole bunches. As the harvest was abundant, about 10% of the grapes were bled off after a few hours. The wine is racked almost a month later and then put into a 5th passage oak barrel for ageing. Cornalin press juice (from the adjoining vineyard) is added to complete the barrel. Malolactic fermentation takes place at the very beginning of the following spring. The wine is then taken out of the barrel and placed in a stainless steel vat in preparation for bottling. Bottling takes place on 1 September, without filtration.
