Story
Château Beudon
Valais · Valais · Switzerland
Perched on the steep slopes of the Swiss Alps, Domaine de Beudon is a unique and secluded gem, often referred to as the “vineyard in the sky.” Located above the village of Fully, it can be accessed either by a small cable car or through a demanding one-hour hike on steep mountain paths. Domaine de Beudon is owned by Marion Granges and is the only wine producer in this high-altitude location. With just 6 hectares of vineyards, their wine production is limited, making these exceptional wines rare outside of Switzerland. The challenging terrain, with its steep and rocky soils, presents difficulties, but the family has embraced these challenges with dedication and passion. Since 1992, the Granges family has strictly followed the principles of biodynamic and organic farming, firmly believing in the importance of sustainable practices.
“Their approach to winemaking is entirely natural, allowing Mother Nature to guide the process.”
The Beudon vineyards produce a range of exceptional wines, including Pinot Noir, Gamay, Humagne Rouge, and the local varieties Diolinoir and Gamaret. For white wines, they cultivate Petite Arvine, Fendant, and Riesling-Sylvaner. These wines capture the purity of the mountain air, offering a taste that is both light and refined in their youth. As they age, they develop a complexity and depth that rivals the finest vintages from more renowned regions across the border in France.
