I heard about Chercouche from Selma and Therry of Le Bois Dieu a few years ago , but there name kept on popping when speaking to natural vinegrons throughout France ,

A quite low down couple Marc Balzan and Andrea Grossmann ,you’ll be hard pressed to find there wine in the Valais in wine bars or restaurants , Natural wine is still very much a rare commodities in the Valais ..few stock there wine.. different story in france or the US and Canada , where you will find it the top restaurants , from New york to Vancouver and Tokyo

One of the best kept secrets in the Swiss wine world , you won’t find them at even Natural wine fairs in Switzerland , no Insta or social or conventional media marketing.

I guess they don’t need to or don’t want to.. They participated in the First Brut -Es in Mulhouse , but none after that..if you want to buy there wine you’ll have to send them and email and visit as they don’t ship either .

Normally producing only a few thousand litres in any given year , in 2020 the lost most of there harvest to mildew. and could only make 300 litres in total..

There were also an American Sommelier and her friend arrived for a tasting also , Keen to taste the Macerated orange wine that they had tasted in Zurich , turns out a good friend of Nomas’ Somm , Everybody seems to be !!, interestingly informing us that Noma will stay open for the Immediate future due to having some 76,000 bottles of wine in the cellar that they need to shift!
