Description
The Syrah AOC Wallis is an exceptional Swiss red wine that brilliantly demonstrates the powerful spice profile and structural elegance of the Syrah grape within an alpine environment. Masterfully produced under the legendary Chevalier Bayard label in the high-altitude vineyards of the Wallis (Valais) canton, this premium red expression showcases the heights of traditional alpine winemaking. The vines absorb intense mountain sunlight on steep stone terraces over deep glacial soils, giving birth to a rich and vibrant red wine with an unmatched sense of place.
In the glass, this beautiful 2015 vintage displays an inviting, deep red color. The bouquet opens with a complicated yet seductive flavor profile, bursting with rich notes of black cherries, freshly cracked pepper, and aromatic cloves. Clocking in at 12.6% alcohol by volume, it features remarkably fine tannins and a balanced natural acidity, delivering a velvet-like mouthfeel with a savory, long finish. This independent selection possesses an impressive cellaring potential, built to mature beautifully over a peak ripeness window of 4 to 6 years.
Food Pairing:
With its rich flavor profile and fine tannins, this premium alpine Syrah is a phenomenal asset for upscale dining. It pairs magnificently with wild venison, a traditional spiced lamb Tajine, and tender pan-seared duck breast. To experience its layered aromatics at their peak, serve at a preferred room temperature of 60–64 °F (16–18 °C).
