During a century of history, the Gilliard estate has expanded and diversified its appellations. Today, it produces a wide range of whites, rosés and reds, all of which embody the spirit of their unique native soils and noble grape varieties.

Gilliard is aware of the need to protect the environment and the purity of the wine, and therefore has adopted an integrated approach to plant protection on its estates. Only "soft" methods are used, i.e. treatments which do not harm the natural environment or adversely affect the quality of the final product.
NOTES:Working on the principle of quality before profit, the House of Gilliard keeps the average of its vines at about twenty years. The family believes it is only around the tenth year, in fact, that a vine will produce its best. Cellared, vinified and bottled in the family cellars, Gilliard wines mirror the soul of the Valais, a land of fire, rock and stark contrasts.
REGION DESCRIPTION:Backing on to the south-facing slope that overlooks the town of Sion, the choicest vineyards of the house of Gilliard form an impressive estate of about 40 hectares well sheltered and ideally exposed with a view extending the length of the Rhône valley. Gilliard’s vineyards are Domaine du Mont, Domaine de la Cotzette, the vineyard of Clavoz and the vineyard of Uvrier.
