Amignes White 2017
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Perched high in the sun-drenched Valais region of Switzerland, the 2017 Amignes from Domaine Julien Guillon originates from a mountain vineyard where the Amigne grape variety expresses itself with rare purity. On these steep slopes, bathed in sunshine yet cooled by alpine breezes, the vines draw their strength from a living, mineral-rich soil. This interplay of altitude, light, and rock gives rise to a chiseled, concentrated fruit character that defines the unique identity of this dry and intense white wine.
Cultivation methods
Julien Guillon, a free and inspired winemaker, cultivates his vines like a wild garden. Using biodynamic methods, with absolute respect for the ecosystem and an extreme sensitivity to nature's rhythms, he guides each vine towards its full potential. Vinification is natural, without additives or artifice, allowing the Amigne grape to reveal its full truth. The long and meticulous aging process refines the wine without ever masking its tension or transparency.
Tasting & pairings
From the first whiff, the 2017 Amignes charms with its unique aromatic profile: fresh almond, ripe lemon, juicy white fruit, wild honey, and alpine herbs intertwine delicately. On the palate, the magic unfolds: a vibrant acidity provides energy and freshness, while a noble bitterness balances the whole, culminating in a precise and persistent finish. The palate is balanced and profound, with a chalky minerality reminiscent of the high-altitude terroir.
This wine calls for subtle and precise pairings: sea bream ceviche with lime, roasted white asparagus, aged sheep's milk cheese, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine. It will elegantly complement dishes that emphasize freshness and finesse.
The 2017 Amignes is the pure breath of the Swiss mountains, captured in a vibrant, precise, and luminous wine. A rare bottle, crafted by Julien Guillon, that brilliantly combines the nobility of a terroir with the freedom of a winemaker.
La Chute 2017, Domaine Julien Guillon
At an altitude of 750 meters, on soils of schist, clay, and white quartz, the Gamaret grape variety (twenty-year-old vines) cultivated biodynamically for three years gives its best. Fifteen days of carbonic maceration in whole bunches, and voilà, a superb nose of spices and cloves, followed by a palate of intensely fresh black cherry. A magnificent, dense and deep wine, to pair with game, the best quality beef, noble mushrooms such as oronge or cep. And of course, black truffle. How much harder will the fall be? No: the cuvée received this name in honor of a fall the winemaker had while rolling from top to bottom of his plot. Switzerland is steep, did you know that?
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

My Two Sweet Whites 2017, Domaine Julien Guillon
This tender appellation hides two Swiss white grape varieties down to their very roots: Chasselas (80%) and Petite Arvine (20%), harvested and vinified with love in the Valais mountains to obtain this sparkling, light and fresh juice. A wine that melts in the mouth, perfect for melting dishes: raclette, eggs cocotte, Swiss fondue, but also fresh and saltwater fish, sashimi, sushi, and this delicious Swiss specialty: fried small perch from Lake Geneva… Purity made into wine.

Matéo Rouge 2017, Domaine Julien Guillon
A vintage made from Pinot Noirs planted in 1962 on very steep slopes. It took a lot of work to bring this plot back to life. Very low yield for this first vintage. Semicarbonic maceration of the partially destemmed harvest, the rest in whole bunches. An extremely delicate wine, drinkable, fresh and digestible, which is fortunate because we come back to it very willingly. The fruit bursts in the mouth, the Iberian bellota ham is not far away, as well as all the high-quality cured meats.
