Amignes White 2017

Domaine Julien Guillon

 

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.
