Wines made from Chasselas grapes of Vully
Discover the best wines made with Chasselas as a single variety or as a blend of Vully.
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.
Smallest wine region in Switzerland (~150 ha), only intercantonal AOC Vaud-Fribourg, north-west shores of Lake Morat. Signature Chasselas as king white: fine and delicate with white flowers, citrus, green apple, sweet almond and a lakeside mineral touch, taut refreshing palate — quintessential Swiss aperitif. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), supple Gamay, floral Müller-Thurgau, aromatic Traminer, local Freiburger specialty. Chiselled wines.
