Made as dry, often slightly sparkling whites. Absolute star of Vaud (Dézaley, Calamin, Lavaux Grand Cru) and Valais (Fendant) in Switzerland. Also in Pouilly-sur-Loire AOC and the German Jura.

The wine region of Epesses
AOC of UNESCO Lavaux at the heart of the northern shore of Lake Geneva (Vaud): Chasselas is the exclusive signature white king on calcareous-schist terraces — robust with strong personality, signature fruity and spicy aromas of pineapple, pepper and black truffle, melon notes, velvety round and smooth mouthfeel. Fine and structured signature, dense, mineral, fruity profile reflecting the triple sun (soil/lake/sky). Lavaux Chasselas king (¾ of vines), 2-3 year keeping in youth.
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: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
