Camille Crettol

Coming Up

Camille Crettol spent the early years of the trade as winemaker at Camille Crettol in Martigny until 2013, a period that reads as foundation work: repetition, cellar discipline, and the steady building of judgment. In 2013, the title shifted to winemaker-grower, and with it the scope of the job widened. Since then, Camille Crettol has held both sides of the craft in the same hand, keeping vineyard and cellar connected through one continuous line of work.

Where They Are Now

Since 2013, Camille Crettol has worked as winemaker-grower at Camille Crettol in Martigny-Croix. That position sits at the junction of cultivation and vinification, where the timing of the year and the sequence of cellar decisions carry equal weight. The work is defined by continuity: growing, making, and returning each season to the same responsibilities with the same measured attention.

Signature

Petite Arvine Branson is named as Camille Crettol’s signature. It points to a wine style anchored in specificity, where grape, place, and naming together signal a clear line of identity.

In Their Words “I have, of course, like all of us, started with a training at the Changins school of oenology and first chose the safety of chemical products, weed killer by sprayer, folpet, etc.” The quote places training at the Changins school of oenology at the start of the record, and it is plain about the first working framework: chemical products, sprayer use, folpet, and the logic of control that came with them. What it gives, more than rhetoric, is a view of method as something learned in sequence. For Camille Crettol, the arc runs from formal schooling to practice at Camille Crettol in Martigny, and then, since 2013, into the broader responsibilities of Martigny-Croix.
