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.

More informations about the region of Valais

Wine hamlet in central Valais (commune of Lens), south-facing slopes of the Sierre hillside bathed in sunshine. Fendant (Chasselas) is the signature white — dry and delicate with lively notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, almond and a mineral touch. Pinot Noir dominates (40%) as elegant red with red fruits and an altitude-spiced touch, fine tannins. Supple Gamay, indigenous Cornalin and Humagne, Syrah and racy Arvine as complements.
