Appellation: Vin de Pays Romand
Domain: Phusis, S. Bettschen
Grape variety(ies): Petite Arvine
On-call time: 12 years
Alcohol degree: 14.5%

A relatively intense golden-yellow colour. On the nose, there are notes of lemon, lime pulp, apple, very ripe pineapple, mint, exotic fruits and a hint of stone. The attack on the palate is both substantial and sharp. The body is long, vinous, straightforward and well-defined, finishing with a retro-olfaction of passion fruit. Highly structured and lively, with a devilishly salty edge, this wine is bursting with energy!

Viticulture

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

Oenology

The harvest takes place in two stages: on 26 September for the vines planted in 2013 (96 °Oe) and on 6 October for the vines planted in 1997 (110 °Oe). Both harvests are pressed by hand (using a vertical press). With minimal racking, the musts ferment separately in a new cask (for the wine at 110 °Oe), a second-use cask and a fifth-use cask. Alcoholic fermentation was completed the following summer (malolactic fermentation took place in the meantime) and ageing continued for a second winter in barrels. The wine was blended in April 2025 and then bottled on 25 August 2025 after light filtration.
