Maison Gilliard

Maison Gilliard produces wines from Valais, Switzerland's largest wine region, where Alpine terrain and continental climate shape distinctive expressions of both international and indigenous varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on white wines of notable depth: Soleil de Minuit Ermitage Surmaturé, a Pinot Gris and Marsanne blend of concentrated character, and Clos du Brûle-Fer Johannisberg, a Sylvaner that captures the mineral precision of its terroir. Clavau Cornalin, made from the native Valais grape Cornalin, demonstrates the region's capacity for structured reds with dark fruit and spice. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have rated these releases, reflecting their technical merit and balance. The winery's work across Valais's varied microclimates—from valley floors to high-altitude slopes—yields wines marked by clarity and definition rather than extraction.
