2021 Henri Badoux Aigle Les Murailles

This 2021 Henri Badoux Aigle Les Murailles is an award-winning Chasselas that delivers a smooth, rich, and refreshingly vibrant expression of the unique Chablais terroir.

The winemaking process embraces natural methods, with alcoholic fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation occurring via the wine’s own bacteria. Grown on light gravel and shale soils with full sun exposure and protected by a unique microclimate, the grapes are handled with minimal intervention and aged in steel to preserve their true character.

This wine is celebrated for its consistency, elegance, and excellent aging potential. Its smooth, rich, and fresh profile is a testament to the meticulous care in the vineyards and the natural winemaking approach of the Badoux estate. With its instantly recognisable lizard label, this Chasselas is not only a favourite in Switzerland but also a benchmark for quality in the region.

Pairing Suggestions: Serve at 8-10°C with freshwater fish such as filets de perche, pan-fried trout with hazelnut butter, or alongside delicate white meat dishes.
