The wine region of Vully
Smallest wine region in Switzerland (~150 ha), only intercantonal AOC Vaud-Fribourg, north-west shores of Lake Morat. Signature Chasselas as king white: fine and delicate with white flowers, citrus, green apple, sweet almond and a lakeside mineral touch, taut refreshing palate — quintessential Swiss aperitif. 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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
