Claudy Clavien
Claudy Clavien works the steep slopes of Sierre, in Valais, where Alpine terroir shapes distinctive native Swiss varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on grapes rooted to this region: Humagne Rouge, a dark-skinned variety that yields wines of depth and structure; Cornalin, another Valais native with mineral character; and Savagnin, the white grape behind Larmes du Terroir. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate. The combination of altitude, granite-rich soils, and continental climate creates conditions where these varieties express their particular character—earthy, textured, and tied to place. Claudy Clavien's focus on indigenous grapes reflects the broader identity of Valais winemaking, where tradition and local expression remain central to the craft.
