More informations about the variety Chasselas

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.

Narrow 80 km French wine strip between Salins and Saint-Amour (~1,850 ha), marl and limestone soils, semi-continental climate. Savagnin is the signature native white: dry and intensely oxidative with green walnut, curry, yellow apple, dried flowers, dried fruits and saline finish, aged under a yeast veil (vin jaune style in the iconic 62 cl clavelin). Chardonnay (50%) as fresh white; light Poulsard and spiced Trousseau as ethereal reds. Crémant, vin de paille, Macvin.
