An excellent mid-range Fendant from a renowned producer.
Why We Have It
We wanted one of the traditional Fendants from Simon Maye & Fils.
What to expect
The classic fruity minerality of a Fendant with a hint of white flowers from Alpine meadows.
More about
Simon Maye & Fils produce two traditional Fendants from vineyards in Chamoson, Trémazières and Fauconnier. In the past we have had both Fendants but have decided that Fauconnier works best in our range of Fendants. With its hints of the white flowers that you find in Alpine meadows to go along with the classic fruity minerality you expect from a Fendant. Fauconnier. It comes from a Chasselas vineyard in the lieu-dit "Prés des Pierres" where the other vineyards are Pinot Noir and Syrah. (Trèmazières is itself a lieu-dit and is also where the Païen (Heida) vineyard is found.)
