Description
The Pinot Noir de Finges AOC Wallis is an exceptional Swiss red wine that brilliantly displays the pure elegance and aromatic complexity of the Pinot Noir grape in a high-altitude alpine environment. Masterfully produced by the estate Cave de la Pinède within the protected Pfyn-Finges nature reserve, this premium red selection reflects the finest regional craftsmanship. Vines thrive on dramatic stone terraces over glacial mineral-rich soils, giving birth to a nutritious and elegant wine that stands as a true benchmark of alpine viticulture.
In the glass, this beautiful 2015 vintage exhibits a lovely light-red color with brilliant clarity. The bouquet opens with a deeply complex and inviting flavor profile, highlighted by rich aromas of ripe red berries, subtle forest floor, and a sophisticated, nutritious structural balance. Clocking in at a rich 14% alcohol by volume, it features perfectly integrated, smooth tannins and a balanced natural acidity, delivering a velvet-like mouthfeel. This bottle holds very nice cellaring potential, built to age and mature beautifully within a peak cellaring window of 4 to 5 years.
Food Pairing:
With its elegant structure and smooth fruit profile, this premium Pinot Noir de Finges is tailor-made for upscale gastronomy. It pairs magnificently with tender lamb meat, classic American roast beef, and a variety of premium hard cheeses. To fully unlock its layered aromatics and refined character, serve at a preferred cellar temperature of 59–63 °F (15–17 °C).

Every single bottle of this 2015 vintage is a rare collector’s piece; Switzerland famously exports less than 2% of its total wine production globally, making this independent selection exceptionally difficult to find in the United States.
