Cave Clos des Cyprès

You're not born a winemaker, but you become one through hard work and conviction. This could be the formula used to introduce SERGE ANTILLE - an instinctive winegrower and winemaker - whose first memories of wine are linked to his father Abel. Not having attended an oenology school, but having trained solely in the field, Serge has tamed with passion and determination the work of the vine, essential to the success of a top-quality wine. Starting with pruning, then disbudding... right through to harvesting the grapes at full maturity. As Serge so aptly points out, you also need to know how to talk to the vine to make a joyful, generous wine.

The Clos des Cyprès winery - founded in 1999 - offers a diversity of white, red and rosé Valaisan grape varieties, which Serge can help you discover with conviviality in his carnotzet in Veyras or at Domaine des Maladaires, which he has been running since 2016 near Sion
