The wine region of Aigle
AOC Chablais vaudois (135 ha, Chasselas capital): Chasselas reigns exclusively in white — aromatic, elegant and powerful, aromas of white fruits, citrus, flowers and mineral touch, freshness and tension preserved. Steep south-facing slopes supported by dry stone walls, gravelly-schistous well-drained soils, generous sunshine, warm dry foehn influence, centuries-old terraces — among the finest Swiss Chasselas.
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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
