Chandra Kurt Red Blend Dole Valais 2019 750 ML

This cuvee is a collaboration between Chandra Kurt and oenologist Madeleine Gay made from Pinot Noir and Gamay planted on limestone and slate soils in the heart of the Valais near Sion. Dole is the local name for a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, and Chandra’s version is a lithe and aromatic blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Gamay. While neither of these varieties is indigenous to the Valais, they represent 40% of the vines planted here where they take well to the warm south and southwest-facing limestone and slate slopes above the Rhone.
