Chappaz
Chappaz produces wines from Valais, Switzerland's premier wine region, where Alpine terrain and continental climate shape distinctive white and red expressions. The winery focuses on indigenous and classic varieties suited to the region's steep slopes and mineral soils. Petite Arvine, a Valais signature, yields the flagship Grain Doux—a wine that demonstrates the grape's capacity for complexity and precision. Marsanne Blanche, vinified as Grain par Grain, shows the breadth of white wine potential in the region, while Grain Gamay Vieilles Vignes draws from older vines to express the depth Gamay can achieve in Alpine conditions. Wine Advocate and Decanter have rated these releases, reflecting their standing among serious Swiss wine expressions.
