Created in 1885, Maison Gilliard sits in the hills of Sion and produces wines such as Pinot Noir and Heida (Païen).
This vast estate stretches over 60 hectares along the Rhône valley. His most famous vineyard is the Clos de Clochetta, composed of vertiginous terraces that rise above the town of Sion. The winery sells a range of ‘classic’ wines such as Fendant and Dôle (‘Les Classiques’), together with barrel-fermented wines (‘Les Tonneliers’).
If you visit Maison Gilliard, you are sure to hear the name of Hansueli Pfenninger, the oenologist responsible for vinifying the wines.
