i. Biography
In Savièse, the work at Cave au Soleil Levant runs from vine to bottle, with Valais wines shaped across white, red, rosé, and sweet bottlings. Blaise Dubuis is the winemaker here, working with a cellar whose story began in 1990 and whose identity is tied to the grape, the vintage, and the finished bottle rather than to spectacle.
The Estate
Cave au Soleil Levant in Savièse was created in 1990 by Blaise and Didier Dubuis. From 1997, the winery continued under Blaise Dubuis's leadership, giving the estate a clear line of continuity from its founding into its later years. Alongside his role as winemaker, he is owner of Cave Au Soleil Levant, Dubuis Blaise in Savièse. That dual responsibility places the practical decisions of the cellar and the direction of the estate in the same hands.
In the Cellar
The production style is conventional. What defines the work most plainly is its full-chain control: Dubuis oversees the entire production process, from the vine to the bottle. That scope gives the wines a direct connection between vineyard work, cellar decisions, and final release. The range totals 13 wines, a compact but broad set that includes white, red, rosé, and sweet wines from Valais.
The Bottlings
Two releases give a clear sense of the cellar's register. Named by variety and late-harvest style, it sits within the broader Valais range that Dubuis produces from vine to bottle.
Signature
Blaise's signature wines include Lentine 2011 and Ermitage La Marsanne Vendange tardive 2006.
