Pure Fendant de Sion, unblended, rich in minerality. Gentle pressing, strict settling, selected yeasts and complete temperature control during alcoholic and malolactic fermentation give this great wine all its finesse and harmony.
In 1288, Bishop Boniface de Challant founded a rectorate on the altar of the Most Holy Trinity, in the chapel of his curia. The first episcopal palace adjoined the church of Saint Pierre, where the Valère theater now stands, and the chapel was directly opposite.
In the middle of the 17th century, a visit from the bourgeoisie found it in ruins and completely "destroyed". distructa ". Adrien IV de Riedmatten was keen to restore the school to its former splendor, and had it rebuilt, as well as the rectorate attached to it. In the mid-18th century, the rectorate donated its chapel and the rector's house to the town of Sion to enable the creation of the college.
The Rectorat de la très sainte Trinité is a work of the Church whose purpose, in addition to maintaining a rector, is to have masses said in perpetuity:
Pro fælici Statu Sedunensis Ecclesiæ, Reverendissimi et Illustrissimi Domini Episcopi et Principis, et Venerabilis Capituli, Inclytæ Patriæ.
For the prosperity of the Church of Sion, of the reverend and most illustrious prince-bishop, of the Venerable Chapter and of the august Patrie valaisanne.
To this end, Adrien will provide the Rectorate with the same vineyards on the Sédun hillside as those whose wine you drink today.
To this day, as it has for centuries, the Rectorate of the Most Holy Trinity continues to honor its vocation and pray for the Church, the Bishop and Chapter of Sion, for our beautiful country and all those who have the good fortune to love it.
