The wine region of Vully
Smallest wine region in Switzerland (~150 ha), only intercantonal AOC Vaud-Fribourg, north-west shores of Lake Morat.

Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), supple Gamay, floral Müller-Thurgau, aromatic Traminer, local Freiburger specialty. Chiselled wines.
The wine region of Neuchâtel
Swiss vineyard on the western shore of the lake, 606 ha in the Three Lakes region. Signature Pinot Noir (55% of the vineyard, the local prince): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Specialty invented here: Œil-de-Perdrix, a delicate Pinot Noir rosé with salmon hues. Lively, mineral Chasselas (citrus, flint) in white, including the identity-marking Non-Filtré primeur.
The word of the wine: Erinosis
Generally benign condition caused by a very small mite. The infested leaves show blisters on the upper surface, sometimes reddish, sometimes green, to which corresponds on the lower surface a dense felting, first pinkish white, then brownish or reddish.
