The wine region of Chablais
Vaud sub-region between Villeneuve and Bex, terraces on glacial moraines and limestone screes, temperate alpine climate moderated by Lake Geneva. Chasselas: taut and mineral with notes of green apple, citrus, sweet almond, white flowers, light honey and flint, chiselled palate and saline finish — most powerful expression of the variety. Key crus: Aigle and Yvorne (1584 rockslide). Elegant Pinot Noir and supple Gamay.
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: Oxidation
Alteration of the wine caused by prolonged contact with oxygen and resulting in a coppery colour with brown reflections and the appearance of typical aromas reminiscent of rancid nuts.
