Swiss Wine Valais ranks Fendant first with Gamay for raclette: one taster wants a dry, tight white that refreshes the palate, and ambassador Eddy Baillifard stays on Fendant or Gamay for a young village raclette of 3 to 5 months.
Humagne Blanche is an old native Valais white, dry and medium-bodied with fresh acidity. It leaves a small, milky tomme in charge, and its freshness lifts the smooth, supple paste whether the cheese is runny or firmer.
Sweetened with honey, as Slow Food Switzerland says sérac is eaten in Valais, the mild, crumbly white curd suits an off-dry Amigne from Vétroz: the wine's sweetness answers the honey without burying the lean cheese.
Address: Route de Verbier 138, 1936 Verbier, Valais
