Wines made from Chasselas grapes of Salgesch
Discover the best wines made with Chasselas as a single variety or as a blend of Salgesch.
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.
Wine commune of the Upper Valais (Switzerland), nicknamed the "Swiss capital of red wines". Pinot Noir flagship red: fine and silky with signature notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and mineral touch, fine tannins and elegant palate — alpine expression. Supple Gamay, dense Cornalina (autochthonous), spicy Humagne rouge. Whites: taut Chasselas (Fendant), mineral and saline Petite Arvine, ancient Heida.
