How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe Jean-René Germanier Arvine Réserve is a fantastic complex and elegant white wine from the Valais made from 100% of the native Swiss grape Petite Arvine, but then barrel-fermented. The Peite Arvine (read more under link: Grape) is naturally a wine with a fantastic acidity and can age beautifully, but after the oak aging it becomes a completely complex wine. It is a dry, rich and structured wine. Arvine's typical citrus flavors are supported by the toasty notes of the cask. On the palate, the lively attack is in harmony with the fatness and minerality of the wine. Great aging potential.
Characteristics:
Grape variety: Petite Arvine
Bottom: glacial moraine
Production area: Zion
Vinification: aged in 228 liter barrels for 16 months

ABOUT JEAN-RENÉ GERMANIER
Domaine Jean-René Germanier is one of the oldest Swiss wineries, founded in 1896. Germanier harvested his first vintage in 1896 in Balavaud and devoted his life to his vineyards. His three sons, Francis, Paul and Charles later took over. The winery is now in its third generation under the leadership of Jean-René Germanier and his cousin Gilles Besse. Gilles Besse was 24 when he was approached by his uncle, who is only seven years his senior, to join the family winery. He accepted the challenge and began studying oenology at the Swiss school of Changins. In 1993 he vinified his first wines on the estate nestled in the heart of Valais. Together, Gilles and Jean-René have been involved in sustainable agriculture for almost twenty years and eventually played a pioneering role in a quality wine revolution in Switzerland. In the Valais is the Swiss valley of the Rhône and it offers an extraordinary alpine terroir and they do everything they can to ensure that their wines will be the worthy reflection of it. At Germanier they make top-notch Terroir wines made under the guidance of talented oenologists Richard Riand and his wife Delphine practices traditional vinification and cask vinification with exceptional rigor and passion. Numerous international awards have recognized this commitment to excellence, including more than 30 wines with more than 90 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Located in the hamlet of Balavaud in Vétroz in Valais, the Jean-René Germanier estate covers 170 hectares and produces 800,000 bottles. About thirty hectares are cultivated according to BIOSUISSE standards. The vines benefit from the region's hot and dry microclimate. They grow on different soils: slate, alluvial deposits and glacial moraines. 16 different grape varieties are grown for a range of 38 wines. The main grape varieties grown are Chasselas, Amigne, Arvine, Johannisberg, Chardonnay, Païen, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Syrah, Humagne, Cornalin, Gamaret and Merlot. The best grapes are hand-picked and used to make their high-quality red, white, rosé and dessert wines.
Jean-René Germanier makes Terroir wines, so no artifice, but good wines come from healthy grapes and represent the wine with the Terroir. The concept of terroir describes a specific harmony between characteristics of soil, microclimate and grape variety. In certain vineyards, estates or localities, this trio produces characteristics that make it possible to create very unique wines, clearly marked by their harvest year and that ennoble the grape variety itself. More than 25 years ago, they became pioneers in methods of sustainable viticulture out of respect for the environment. Through the practical use of integrated production, they have successfully eliminated the use of pesticides and other treatments. Today they have reached another milestone by eliminating the use of synthetic products in all our vineyards, which span over 25 hectares. As a result, they have become one of the largest wine estates in the country certified BIOSUISSE.
De 2021 Jean-René Germanier Arvine Réserve toont levendige citrus- en pomeloaroma's met een strakke, frisse zuurgraad, een rijke, licht vette textuur en subtiele geroosterde vanille- en toasttonen door 16 maanden vatrijping. Daardoor werkt hij prachtig bij witte vis en gegrilde of gestoomde schaal- en schelpdieren omdat de zuren het vet doorsnijden en het hout de grill- en roastsmaken aanvult, maar ook bij romige kazen en feestelijke gerechten zoals risotto met truffel waar de combinatie van mineraliteit en vetheid harmonie brengt. Kies bij vis voor kort gegrilde of in boter gebakken bereidingen met citroen en kruiden, bij schaaldieren voor licht gekruide pasta of ceviche-achtige bereidingen en bij risotto voor een romige, met paddenstoelen of truffel verrijkte versie om de wijn maximaal tot zijn recht te laten komen.
