OUR HISTORY
Passion. Because that is what brought us about and has kept us going, still, always and for a long time to come.
An inherited passion
The Fils de Charles Favre wine cellar was founded in 1944 and is a real gift from history.
Our cellar, which represents a fantastic inheritance from the personalities that have left their mark on the wine-making world of the Canton of Valais (Charles, René-Pierre, Benjamin, Hanny and Jean-Pierre), has always been able to find the tastes, the words and a way to convey this passion that characterises it.
A passion for excellence
With the reputation that we have long enjoyed (and will enjoy for a long time to come) as the “Small House for Great Wines”, we have always stood out due to the excellence of our wines.
Matured in different ranges, each with their own, clear character (Dame de Sion, Hurlevent, Montorge, Favi and Collection F), our wines are an expression of the diversity of the grape varieties and the soils of our dear Valais region.
A passion for sharing
Because wine ageing is an art, it requires emotion, passion and a lot of sharing.
Due to our conviction of the essential nature of this latter necessity, we (along with our faithful suppliers) care for our vines and vinify the grapes with the sole aim of creating the pleasure that you will enjoy… and that you can share at every moment in life.
A passion of a lifetime
Today, and even if things have changed over time, members of the Favre family (Frédéric and Samuel, Jean-Pierre’s nephews) still work for the cellar. Day after day they observe the respect and the feeling that the current team applies to perpetuating this life of passions.
So let’s share this vision of wine, between excellence and sharing, to honour this unique heritage. Cheers!
