Description

The Caloz family, established in 1960, manages a small family domaine in Miege, Valais, Switzerland, applying the “Production Intégrée” philosophy for sustainable viticulture. Conrad Caloz, along with his wife Anne-Carole, focuses on terroir-driven wines in the Coteaux de Sierre appellation. The steep, terraced vineyards of “La Mourzière” and “Les Bernunes” benefit from the high-altitude Alpine conditions, producing wines with intense minerality. Notable grape varieties include Fendant, Petite Arvine, Humagne rouge, Savagnin (Heida-Paien), Cornalin, and Gamay from the ancient vineyard “Les Fontanettes.” The winery emphasizes organic practices, hand-harvesting, natural fermentation, and minimal sulfur use.

The Petite Arvine grape is exclusive to the Valais region and the Valle d’Aosta in Italy, and Cave Caloz showcases its excellence with the Cave Caloz Petite Arvine La Mourziere 2014. This full-bodied white wine, a classic representation crafted by Caloz, reveals an alluring hint of grapefruit zest. With remarkable density harmonized by well-balanced acidity, the Arvine from “La Mourziere” stands out as a wine that matures gracefully over time, making it a worthy candidate for aging.
