Less opulent and honeyed than many examples from the Valais, it exemplifies the house style in its chiseled intensity, palpable salinity, and cleanly rendered fruit.

Sourced from a variety of miniscule parcels in Fully, Saillon, and Leytron, Alexandre’s Fendant (Chasselas) is fermented spontaneously and aged for eight months on its fine lees in stainless steel.

Established in 2008, Alexandre’s Cave des Amandiers comprises 8.5 total hectares: 70% in his home canton of Fully, with 15% in the loess and limestone soils of Saillon, and 15% in nearby Leytron’s decomposed schist. As is often the case in these small Alpine hamlets, Cave des Amandiers’ holdings encompass a plethora of individual parcels—here, over 200 plots with over 70 different landowners.
