Thierry ConstantinHumagne Rouge Les Maggières 2024

About this wine

This rare alpine gem from Thierry Constantin showcases Humagne Rouge, one of Valais's most distinctive indigenous grapes. If you're looking for something truly different from the usual suspects, this is your bottle.

In the glass, expect bold dark fruit flavors with hints of wild berries and a touch of spice. The wine shows good structure with smooth tannins and a pleasant earthiness that reflects its mountain origins. At 14% alcohol, it has presence without being heavy, finishing with a subtle peppery note that keeps things interesting.

Serve this beauty at 16-18°C alongside hearty alpine fare like raclette, fondue, or a classic Swiss-style beef stew. It also pairs beautifully with grilled meats or aged cheeses. This is the kind of wine that makes a dinner party memorable, simply because most of your guests will never have tried Humagne Rouge before.
