During a MOT masterclass by Stephan Reinhardt to celebrate the first Swiss 100 point wine by Marie-Thérèse Chappaz who was in the room. Chappaz has been doing things differently in bulk wine Canton Valais and pushing quality and boundaries. It was great to see he succeed with the scores as well. As she explained, Marsanne is one of her favorite grapes. It makes a wine of texture and not acidity, elegant, aromatic floral. TN: the 2014 was fresh, chiseled while the 2009 side by side already has some slight patina with waxy elements.

Masterclass with Stephan Reinhardt and Marie Therese Chappaz (The Dolder Grand, Zurich): Glass: Stölzle Universal From a 1h parcel planted in 1924 located between 500-600, height. 2014 was a good vintage in Vallais. Clear medium-deep golden color. Fine, spicy and elegant nose. More evolved, deep, complex as the younger vintages. But also quite young. Very rich, lots of extract, very phenolic. Very long and lingering. 94-95
