Pinot Nero Valle d’Aosta DOP 2020
Medium ruby, intensely smoky spice on the nose, delicate caramel, light orange note. Elegant texture on the palate, characterised by a fresh breed, sour cherries and red berries in the final. SUPERIORE.DE
"This red evokes juicy marasca cherry flavor, shaded by smoke and spice. Nimble and vibrant, with a silky texture and lingering, stony finish." Wine Spectator
"The 2020 Pinot Nero is such a pretty and finessed varietal expression that mixes alpine herbs with wild strawberries and crushed rocks. It’s elegant with silky textures that usher in masses of lavender-tinged black cherries and spices, as juicy acidity maintains fantastic balance. The 2020 leaves a coating of fruit concentration along with sweet tannins that add a gentle grip, promising a steady evolution. That said, there is no harm in drinking this today." Vinous

"The 2020 Chardonnay blends smoky crushed stone with sweet apple and white flowers to create a truly inviting bouquet.

“La Tour” Syrah Valle d’Aosta DOP 2018
On the nose, ripe dark fruits, sweet spices and toasted oak. On the full palate, the character, terroir and elegance of the Les Cretes style are on full display, especially in the refined way tannins and fruit form a symbiosis. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Syrah Las Tour really holds your attention firm with its dark and spicy bouquet, as hints of clove and smoke give way to red currants and dusty rose. Its silky textures coast along a contrasting core of saline-minerals, leaving pepper-tinged wild berries and supple tannins in their wake. While lightly-structured, there’s already so much pleasure to be found here, as the 2019 fades with nuances of bitter blackberry." Vinous

Fumin Valle d’Aosta DOP 2019
Fumin with a great aroma of red fruits, black pepper and tobacco, dark fruity on the palate, very well structured and with a persistent balsamic finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Fumin embodies the soul of alpine wine, with a peppery array of sage, rosemary and mint giving way to rose petals and hints of camphor. It’s finessed yet full of life, cascading citrus-tinged red berries across a core of minerals and vibrant acidity. The 2019 finishes remarkably clean yet perfumed, with a lingering tension of sour berries. What a darling, but it will be best enjoyed served alongside a meal." Vinous

“Fleur Vigna Devin Ros” Petite Arvine Valle d’Aosta DOP 2018
The second white top wine of the family farm and single-varietal Petite Arvine: Bright light yellow with an elegant, floral-mineral bouquet and notes of ripe apples and apricots. Clear, balanced taste, refined body and harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright straw-yellow. Captivating aromas of lemon drop, yellow apple, balsamic oils, honeysuckle and anise. The palate offers lovely purity of fruit and a pliant texture, with luscious flavors of ripe orchard fruit and minty herbs. Nicely floral on the long finish. The high acidity showcases why Les Cretes decided to try their hand at making a brand-new sparkling wine with the Petite Arvine grape. This wine is made from 12-year-old vines planted near Arnad-Montjovet and is aged in stainless steel only." Vinous
"Dried flowers, lemon curd, peaches and toasted almonds on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Concentrated with creamy layers of ripe fruit and a gently saline finish." James Suckling
"This Petite Arvine is light and crisp, but it also delivers a glossy or viscous side with some of the thickness and flavors of well-ripened grape skins. The bouquet opens to orchard fruit and nectarine, and there is a musky quality that adds an extra layer of shading or depth. This white would do well with lobster or shellfish." Robert Parker

The vineyard in Aymavilles in the Valle d'Aosta, situated picturesquely near Mont Blanc and surrounded on three sides by the Italian, French and Swiss Alps, looks back on a two centuries old winemaking tradition. Les Crêtes has long since conquered a firm place in the Italian wine elite. Today the company is managed by Costantino Charrère, President of the Association of Independent Italian Winegrowers, his wife Imelda and their daughters Eleonora and Elena. The wine house was founded in the autonomous region with special status on the initiative of Costantino, whose family has been active in food production for five generations as owners of an old water mill from the 18th century and the traditional winery Via Moulins. Today the mill is used for agritourism.
The symbol of the estate is the Côteau la Tour tower, built in the 16th century and towering over the surrounding vineyards. The winery has recently been extended with a new barrel cellar and an attractive visitor area. The flagship of the winery, which has always distinguished itself through top performance and innovation, is the always wonderful, harmonious and balanced Chardonnay Cuvée Bois, which has been praising wine critics for many years.
Already in 1955, the Charrère family had planted the first grapes on an area of two hectares to produce quality wines. Today, the estate is the largest private winery in the Valle d'Aosta, with a cultivated area of 25 hectares. The vineyards, between 600 and 1,000 metres high and extending over the six municipalities of Saint-Pierre, Aymavilles, Gressan, Sarre, Aosta and Saint-Christophe, are home to Petite Arvine, Petit Rouge, Fumin, Mayolet and Cornalin grapes, as well as the international Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Muscat varieties. The average plant density is 7,500 vines per hectare. The rocky soils are sandy and calcareous. The harvest time in Aosta Valley often does not begin until late autumn. SUPERIORE.DE
"Constantino Charrère, heir to a two centuries old winemaking tradition, was able to establish his business among the Italian wine elite. But Constantino and his wife Imelda not only direct this first-class winery, behind Les Crêtes with its magnificent, modern cellar, there is also an idea, a concept of how to face nature and the world of wine that not only makes its owner the head of a movement, but also the president of the Association of Independent Winegrowers. The parents are fully supported by their daughters Eleonora and Elena, who grew up between the smells of blooming vineyards and the gurgling must in the cellar."Gambero Rosso 2014
