Description
The Dôle AOC Wallis is an exceptional Swiss red wine blend that masterfully showcases the vibrant fruitiness, soft tannins, and elegant regional character of this historic alpine assemblage. Expertly produced under the legendary Chevalier Bayard label in the high-altitude vineyards of the Wallis (Valais) canton, this premium red expression represents the ultimate golden standard of Swiss winemaking tradition. The vines absorb intense mountain sunshine on steep stone terraces over deep glacial mineral soils, giving birth to a classic and beautifully balanced red wine with an unmatched sense of place.
In the glass, this beautiful 2015 vintage displays a bright red colour with exceptional clarity. The bouquet opens with a complicated yet inviting flavour profile, bursting with rich aromas of fresh raspberries, red currants, and a delicate hint of wild forest nuts. Clocking in at an approachable 12.8% alcohol by volume, it features remarkably soft, gentle tannins and a balanced natural acidity, delivering a highly polished and velvety mouthfeel with a clean, smooth finish. This boutique selection possesses a very nice cellaring potential, built to maintain its expressive fruit character over a peak ripeness window of 3 to 5 years.
Food Pairing:
With its elegant, fruit-forward profile and soft tannins, this premium Dôle is a phenomenal asset for versatile dining. It pairs magnificently with roasted chicken, tender pork loins, and classic grilled beef steaks. To experience its layered berry aromatics and fresh alpine charm at their peak, serve at a preferred chilled cellar temperature of 14–16 °C.
