Valais wine and cheese

Raclette du Valais with Fendant (Chasselas)

Local tradition

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.

Walliser Hobelkäse with Dôle and Pinot Noir

Our pick

The Raclette du Valais consortium suggests a robust Valais red, Dôle or Pinot Noir, for this hard, salty cheese; the red fruit holds its own against a paste that is firm and slightly brittle.

Walliser Schnittkäse with Fendant (Chasselas)

Our pick

A young cut cheese is milky and fresh with a sour, plant and fruit edge. A dry Fendant has the same quiet freshness, so the Chasselas matches the cheese without overpowering its smooth, supple paste.
