Charrat is situated on the north-facing, left bank slope of the Rhône River and thus differs from the sunnier Fully vineyard. The sun hits this area later in the day and during harvest season, the first rays are felt only around noon. On the other hand, the vines are sun-caressed until 8:00 or 9:00 pm in the evenings. The combination of these characteristics in conjunction with the limestone soil is perfectly suitable for Pinot Noir, which is particularly adapted to cooler temperatures.
Given that no two years are alike, the vines are Guyot-trained and the soil is tilled for one out of every two rows, weather-permitting.
Champ Dury is a parcel with a superb terroir that is the best in Charrat for Marie-Thérèse’s Pinot Noir. A few rows of the Completer grape liven up the vineyard. This old Valais varietal, which is produced especially in the Grisons canton, produces an extraordinary white wine with full body and bright acidity.
