Amigne de Vétroz is a rare and distinctive white grape variety native to Switzerland, primarily cultivated in the Valais region, with its most renowned expressions emerging from the village of Vétroz. The aromatic profile of Amigne features an enticing bouquet of citrus blossom, honeyed notes, exotic fruits such as mandarin and apricot, and subtle hints of bitter orange peel. On the palate, it is celebrated for its balance between a lively acidity and a characteristic touch of gentle bitterness, creating a complex, medium to full-bodied wine with excellent aging potential.
Amigne de Vétroz is vinified in a variety of styles, ranging from dry to sweet. The dry versions are refreshing, structured, and elegant, while dessert styles (notably labeled by the number of bees on the label, indicating increasing sweetness) exhibit luscious, concentrated flavors balanced by vibrant acidity. This versatility allows Amigne to pair beautifully with a range of dishes: dry styles complement freshwater fish, white asparagus, or poultry in light sauces, while sweeter versions are superb with blue cheeses, Asian cuisine, or fruit-based desserts. Amigne de Vétroz remains an exclusive Swiss gem, prized for its uniqueness and sophistication.
