Leys wines

In 1984, Arthur and Andrea decided to set up the small family business, but the old location soon became too small. As the vineyard area grew larger and larger, they decided to build the current "Weinkeller zum Leyscher" in March 1988. In the same year, they were able to vinify their entire production in the new wine cellar for the first time.

They were delighted when their son Pascal joined the business in 2001 after completing his apprenticeship as a wine technologist. Thanks to the good family cooperation in the vineyard and in the wine cellar, where the wines are tasted together, they have already received several national and international awards.

The Varonier family lives with wine, wine is their passion and they grow with their experience every day. On around 3 hectares of vines, they exclusively process grapes from their own vineyards to produce wonderful wines. With the necessary respect for nature, passion and love, they create high-quality wines full of character. They are proud to be able to offer you an impressive range of different Valais wines, which will give you great pleasure thanks to their outstanding quality and value for money.

Dôle

«The most famous Swiss red wine cuvée»

La Dôle est une appellation réservée au Valais pour désigner le vin rouge sans doute le plus connu de Suisse. Il n'existe pas de cépage appelé Dôle. 

La vive Dôle valaisanne résulte de l'union des deux cépages rouges les plus fréquents du Valais : le pinot noir et le gamay. Le pinot noir confère à la Dôle sa race, sa noblesse et son bouquet. Le gamay est responsable de son fruité et de sa robustesse. Ensemble, ils doivent constituer au moins 51% de l'assemblage, le pinot noir détenant la plus grande part. Jusqu'en 2020, cette valeur était encore de 85 %. D'autres cépages rouges peuvent compléter cette cuvée : Gamaret, Garanoir, Carminoir, Ancellotta, Diolinoir, Merlot ou Syrah par exemple. Certains apportent de la couleur au vin, d'autres de la structure et des tanins, d'autres encore une touche de fantaisie aromatique.

L'incontournable Dôle valaisanne peut donc développer une multitude d'expressions, selon les terroirs et les producteurs. Mais elle est toujours une découverte !
