Let’s talk about Le Prisonner - Maison Anselmet

More questions

Maison Anselmet has demonstrated a unique ability to best express native and international grape varieties in the unique context of the Aosta Valley's alpine terroir, often with an approach that skillfully balances tradition and experimentation. A wine called "Le Prisonnier" represents a bold and distinctive wine expression, an innovative blend or monovarietal that captures the essence of a challenging or rare grape variety.

A wine with such an evocative name presents itself with an intense, deep color, which preludes an olfactory complexity rich in nuances. On the nose, "Le Prisonnier" offers a complex bouquet, with notes of red and black fruits, spicy and earthy accents, and perhaps a light touch of wood, resulting from a refinement designed to enrich the profile without overpowering it.

On the palate, this hypothetical wine is characterized by a robust structure, but balanced by a lively acidity which underlines its elegance and drinkability. The aromatic complexity is also reflected in the taste, with a range of flavors that echo the olfactory bouquet and lead to a persistent and satisfying finish.

"Le Prisonnier" is versatile at the table, suitable to accompany dishes of a certain structure and intensity of flavours, such as red meats, dishes based on wild mushrooms, mature cheeses and complex culinary preparations.

The story
Documented evidence of the Anselmet family's presence in the vineyards dates back to the 16th century; the shift toward organized winemaking took place in the late 1970s with Renato Anselmet, from whom the modern estate took shape and developed over subsequent generations.
Production philosophy
The estate favors high-altitude, mountain viticulture, with hand-tended vineyards, minimal agronomic interventions and the selection of grape varieties based on the pedoclimatic characteristics of each individual plot. In the cellar it seeks to express the terroir through targeted maturation techniques and differentiated productions, including limited editions.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are concentrated in the so-called Central Valley of the Aosta Valley, on morainic soils exposed on the left-hand side of the Dora Baltea, with parcels ranging from approximately 550 to over 900 metres above sea level and across an area stretching from Avise to Chambave. Viticulture is often terraced and requires intensive manual labour.
Awards and recognition
The winery has received national and international recognition over the years; among the awards listed online are mentions and medals in competitions such as the Decanter World Wine Awards.
