Let's hear it from Benoît Dorsaz: "She did as she pleased! I hadn't imagined this arvine like that, but that's how it is: Exquisite! A nose of citrus fruit, grapefruit and - reflecting 2022 - very ripe fruit. Full-bodied and round on the palate, with the crystalline terroir of Les Perches always in the background, bringing it back into line".

Viticulture

Municipality of Fully. Domaine Les Perches = loess (a powdered rock formed by erosion) on gneiss and some moraines. At the foot of these vineyards stands a 10-metre-high boulder, a witness to the crystalline massif of the Aiguilles Rouges.

Oenology

Same vinification as its sister Petite Arvine Les Perches. 70% = several hours of skin maceration. 30% direct pressing. Very gentle pressing. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts for several weeks. Personalised, dynamic ageing in stainless steel vats on fine lees for 6 months.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Salmon tartar with citrus fruit and capers, Fillet of walleye with citrus fruit and beurre blanc emulsion, Warm goat's cheese salad with honey and fresh walnuts

Domain
Born into a family of winegrowers, Benoît Dorsaz grew up among the vines. In 1986, he inherited a plot of chasselas. From then on, he rented the family's vineyards and undertook the replanting of the vineyard as well as the renovation and expansion of his father's cellar, with the support of his wife Maryline. Little by little, the property was enlarged in order to ensure a sustainable family business. At the estate, excellence is sought well before the quality of the wines. In this spirit, all the viticultural, oenological, commercial and administrative processes are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Benoît and Maryline also attach great importance to the social role of winegrowing, in particular by offering optimal working conditions.

This research has led him to organic and biodynamic agriculture. In addition, to respect his soils and help nature, the winegrower favours spontaneous grassing which brings biodiversity.In the cellar, the same philosophy allows the wines to express the particularities of each vintage and of the particular terroir of Fully, where two massifs overlap. The arvine, gamay, cornalin, red...
