Our Wines
Wine, an art with multiple interpretations.
Making wine is an art. It’s an art that has been perfected by the winegrowers of the Valais and, like any art, winemaking gives free rein to the creativity of those who practise it. The Fils de Charles Favre cellar combines tradition and innovation to offer a vast selection of ranges and wines, with over 40 crus, each fully expressing its character and terroir.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect wine for a special occasion or a convivial vintage to share with friends, our wines will meet all your expectations. With family or friends, our values of sharing and conviviality guide us every step of the way, so that each tasting is an unforgettable experience.
Our Ranges
Dame de Sion
Already a favourite when it was launched in 1959, the Fendant Dame de Sion entered into legend in the nineties when the fondly missed Jean-Pierre created the “3/8ths”.
Even today this genius notion makes us think that, whilst we may not have invented the aperitif, we did invent the perfect wine for it.
Favi
Charisma and generosity. Reserved for hedonists.
The Favi range (which takes its name from mixing ‘Favre’ and ‘Vins’) offers a collection of blended wines.
Launched in 2004, the brand just keeps growing and now represents one of the star products of the Small House for Great Wines. Available in red, white, rosé and Sweet, Favi offers balanced and fruity vintages with plenty of character.
Hurlevent
Tradition and values. A grape variety for every occasion.
Launched in 1959, the Hurlevent range offers 20 crus that honour the diversity of Valais grape varieties and specialities. From Fendant to Marsanne and Pinot Noir, each wine expresses our heritage and our passion for winemaking.
A year ago, the range was given a new armour. It’s a great opportunity to rediscover this historic range that embodies our values and traditions.
Whites: Fendant, Johannisberg, Chardonnay, Heida (Païen), Marsanne (Ermitage), Pinot Gris (Malvoisie), Petite Arvine, Muscat, Humagne Blanc, Dessert (sweet wine);
Rosés : Dôle Blanche and Oeil de Perdrix;
Red: Gamay, Dôle, Pinot Noir, Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Syrah, Merlot and Cuvée Prestige (blend).
Collection F
Elegance and refinement. Aged with patience and respect.
Collection F, the jewel of our production, combines a selection of vintages from the best sections of our vineyards: Fendant, Petite Arvine, Pinot Noir, Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Syrah, Merlot, Douceur Rouge (liqueur wine).
Mostly matured in our ageing cellar, these high quality wines will meet the expectations of the most demanding connoisseurs.
Salquenen
Terroir and abundance.
The village of Salquenen offers exceptional conditions. Its limestone soils and sunburnt hillsides are renowned for offering the ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir.
The typicality and the authenticity of this region can be found in our Dôle (blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay) and our Pinot Noir.
Grand Cru Ville de Sion
Respect and identity.
The appellation Grand Cru Ville de Sion is based on strict regulations and checks, which impose quantitative limits on production and the density of planting; it ensures that the vine is cultivated according to environmental and social standards.
Before bottling, the label is only finally issued after the verdict of a tasting panel.
We offer a Syrah under this label.
Vin Cœur
Generosity and solidarity. A simple gesture of support.
The wines of the Vin Cœur range offer you the possibility of supporting the children of La Maison – Massongex in a concrete way.
For each bottle sold, Fendant, Pinot Noir, Petite Arvine or Cornalin CHF 2.00 is donated to the Terre des Hommes Valais Foundation.
A beautiful nectar from valuable terroirs, for a world of sharing.
