Claudy Clavien Paien Larmes du Terroir '20

This Swiss white wine, crafted from the rare Païen grape, shimmers with a pale gold hue and green reflections. The nose is a captivating blend of ripe pear, white flowers, and a hint of crushed stone, reflecting its alpine terroir. On the palate, it offers a vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy texture, with flavors of quince, citrus zest, and a touch of saline minerality. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees, the wine retains freshness while gaining depth, earning 91 points for its elegance. Pair it with freshwater fish, goat cheese, or herb-infused dishes to highlight its versatility. The high-altitude vineyards of Valais contribute to its crisp structure and lingering finish.
