Maison Rouge

Founded by Cedric Flaction, Maison Rouge is one of the leading producers in Valais.

Overview

The largest of Switzerland’s wine producing regions, Valais shares an Alpine border with France and Italy. Carved by the retreating glaciers of the last Ice Age, the turbulent terrain is famous for its terraced vineyards that majestically overlook the Northern banks of the Rhone River. Though mountainous, Valais is known for its sunny climate and warm growing season. Further assisted by the Alpine Foehn winds, this unique microclimate allows vineyard cultivation to occur at much higher altitudes than other parts of Europe.

Keyplots on the rich alluvial soils of Chamoson and Conthey comprise the winery’s largest holdings and are home to Johannisberg, Petite Arvine, Paien, and Merlot. Smaller parcels in the Leytron AOC allow for the cultivation of Humagne Blanc and Humagne Rouge. These ancient Swiss varieties can also be found alongside Cornalin and Pinot Noir in the winery’s Sierre AOC vineyards. Committed to producing wines which respect nature, the vineyards of Maison Rouge are cultivated according to biodynamic principles. The estate underwent organic conversion in 2021.
