The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nestled in the Valais with just 3 hectares under vine, Christophe Abbet crafts jewel-like wines that have earned acclaim around the world. His micro-estate, carved into steep terraced slopes between Martigny and Fully, produces wines as stunning as the Alpine peaks that surround them—radiant, luminous, and timeless.

A true poet of wine, Abbet is celebrated for his sensitivity and artistic approach, earning admiration from critics and collectors alike. His high-level wines have captivated serious connoisseurs and devoted enthusiasts, and are now among the most sought-after in Swiss wine.
Wine From 80-year-old Marsanne vines—locally nicknamed “Ermitage” in homage to their Rhône Valley origins—and aged in 600-liter barrels, the 2019 White Valais Ermitage Marsanne expresses that heritage with remarkable finesse. This is a broad, energetic wine with real personality, offering aromas of yellow fruit and blossoms, a generous texture, and lovely weight on the palate. Its finish is long and lifted by beautifully judged bitterness. Undeniably a wine for discerning palates. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Located on granite terraces at an altitude of between 400 and 800 metres in the Valais Canton. 600-litre demi-muid, malolactic fermentation, unfiltered.
