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

Exceptional hillside in the central Valais between Sion and Sierre (right bank of the Rhône), chalky-gravelly soils and record sunshine (2,000 h/year). Fendant (Chasselas) dominates as the signature white — taut with white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, almond and a characteristic chalky mineral touch. Pinot Noir is the signature red — elegant and silky with red fruits and a spicy touch. Petite Arvine, Cornalin, Humagne, Syrah and Fumin as complements.
