The wine region of Mont-sur-Rolle
Millennium-old AOC of La Côte in Vaud on the shores of Lake Geneva (~250 ha across 3 communes): signature Chasselas as ruling white (70%) — ample and well-structured profile, fruity and mineral with linden, honey, citrus and white flowers, touch of lemon and fresh minerality, signature velvety finesse reflecting terroir. Rocky subsoils, clays, molasses and Rhône glacial alluvions. Warm lake winds, mild protected climate, ample structure and full palate.
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: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
