Maison Gillard was founded in 1885 by Edmond Gilliard, with the acquisition of Clos du Mont and Clos du Brûle Fer, located above the town of Sion. It is to be considered one of the oldest wineries in Valais and one of the best known winemakers in Switzerland. Fendant Les Murettes, created in 1921 is part of the emblematic brands that illustrate the importance of the company. Today the range has more than 50 wines from 22 grape varieties, all vinified, aged and bottled at the estate, with total control of the value chain, from vine to bottle.
La Maison Gilliard owns 75 hectares of vines spread between Venthône and Martigny.
