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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
