Cédric Flactions makes into wine the production of 10 hectares of vineyards in a rather spread out area, going from Sierre to Saillon. We could well say that he works plots of land of different soil because the Valais is well known for its geological diversity. He therefore benefits from the optimal vine soil, each of his varieties that are in his cellar have been harvested in his favourite plots : the red and white humagnes coming from Leytron and the johannisberg from Sierre and Chamoson to state only two examples.
