Gamay
About this grape variety
Its excellent reputation in the Lower Valais, around Fully and Martigny, is linked to the presence of granite, much as is the case with grand cru wines from Beaujolais.
This is a variety that is moderately vigorous and that ripens early. It gives purple-coloured wines that are very aromatic and high-spirited, with notes of red fruits and spices; it is fresh and very drinkable. Vinified on its own this is the flavourful par excellence wine of good cheer.
Blended with Pinot Noir, it becomes Dôle, known as a lively and fresh wine, intensely fruity.
