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.
Fribourg wine municipality of the Vully (Switzerland's smallest wine region, slopes of Mont-Vully between Lakes Neuchâtel and Murten), moraine terroirs. Chasselas dominant signature in a lively, refined white with delicate notes of white flowers, citrus, apple and a refined mineral-lacustrine touch. Freiburger (Freisamer) in an aromatic white with exotic fruits. Pinot Noir and Gamaret in supple reds with red fruits.
