The wine region of Bonvillars
AOC of northern Vaud (Switzerland, ~190 ha), south-facing slopes over Lake Neuchâtel, calcareous soils, temperate climate. Chasselas is the signature white king: fine and mineral with citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a chalky touch, taut palate with discreet perlant, thirst-quenching. Airy spiced Pinot Noir as elegant red. Gamaret and Garanoir as complements.
The wine region of Vaud
World reference for Chasselas (~60% of the vineyard). Mineral, delicate whites with signature notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a saline touch, low acidity and a silky palate. Maximum expression in Lavaux (UNESCO 2007) on Lake Geneva terraces. Also La Côte, Chablais and the iconic Dézaley.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
