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: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
