The fabulous

Pinot Noir La Folie

AOC Valais
The La Folie Pinot Noir is like the unicorn that adorns its label—considered the noblest of mythical creatures and a symbol of goodness. The wine’s color shines as promisingly as the unicorn’s red carbuncle stone, and with its bold fruit from over 100-year-old vines, it rivals the magical power and purity of the mythical being.

Wine history
chevron-down

This single-variety Pinot Noir La Folie is made exclusively from Walliser Petit Pinot grapes, grown on vines over 100 years old in the best locations of Valais. The result is a simply fabulous wine, paying tribute to the unicorn on its label. With its purity, magical power, and boundless love for freedom, the mythical creature symbolizes goodness and nobility—just like this strictly limited red wine, which matures to fabulous perfection for 24 months in French oak at the Cave de l’Hospice de Salquenen, promising magical moments of enjoyment in the glass.

Tasting note
chevron-down

Intense and deep ruby-red color. The bouquet entices the senses with hints of strawberry and cherry aromas. Barrel aging gives the fine wine an additional spicy note.

On the palate, it develops juicy and fresh. It offers a beautiful balance between a nice structure and the finesse of silky tannins. Long and harmonious, already very pleasant to drink, it has interesting aging potential.
