Discover the best wines made with Chasselas as a single variety or as a blend of Vetroz.
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.
Swiss Valais Grand Cru commune since 1990, heart of the central vineyard. Amigne signature indigenous white (~70% of world production here, mentioned 1686): ample and structured with notes of candied mandarin, apricot, honey, linden, dried fruit and soft spices, from dry to luscious (bee system: 1=dry, 2=medium-sweet, 3=sweet). Floral sparkling Chasselas, saline and lively Petite Arvine, taut Heida in whites. Gamay and Pinot Noir in silky Alpine reds.
