Discover the best wines made with Chasselas as a single variety or as a blend of Crépy.
Light, lively whites with a tender palate and low acidity, with discreet aromas of fresh hazelnut, white flowers, light honey, apple and strongly terroir-driven mineral notes ("chameleon wine" of Swiss soils). Made as dry, often slightly sparkling whites. Absolute star of Vaud (Dézaley, Calamin, Lavaux Grand Cru) and Valais (Fendant) in Switzerland. Also in Pouilly-sur-Loire AOC and the German Jura. Excellent table grape.
AOC of the Bas-Chablais in Savoie (Haute-Savoie, south of Lake Geneva, Ballaison, Douvaine, Loisin, 70 ha, classified 1948), clay-gravel moraine soils, continental-mountain climate. Chasselas signature ('fendant roux') as a delicate, lightly sparkling white with vibrant notes of citrus, white flowers, green apple and a refined saline-lacustrine mineral touch, taut balance and fine perlage. Gringet, Aligoté and Altesse as complements. Lacustrine elegance.
