Thierry ConstantinVin de Voile 2016

About this wine

Thierry Constantin's Vin de Voile is a fascinating exploration of what happens when you let nature take its time. This 2016 Valais white shows you the magic of patience and traditional winemaking, where a protective layer of yeast creates something truly unique.

The nose carries those characteristic oxidative notes you find in wines aged under a veil: dried fruits, nuts, and a subtle hint of caramel. On the palate, it's dry and mineral with a wonderful tension between richness and acidity. The Savagnin blanc grape shows its true character here, delivering complexity that lingers long after you swallow.

This is the kind of wine that pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, charcuterie, and hearty Alpine dishes like fondue or raclette. Try it slightly cool, around 12 to 14 degrees Celsius, to really appreciate its layered profile. It's also fantastic as an aperitif if you want something different from the usual suspects.
