Light, lively whites with a tender palate and low acidity, with discreet aromas of fresh hazelnut, white flowers, light honey, apple and strongly terroir-driven mineral notes ("chameleon wine" of Swiss soils). 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. Excellent table grape.

The wine region of Lavaux
Iconic Vaud vineyard (Switzerland) on terraced slopes along Lake Geneva's north shore, UNESCO-listed in 2007. Chasselas reigns as signature white: fine and delicate with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, white apple, fresh almond and a chalky mineral touch, a taut and straight palate — Swiss soul, for aperitif or fondue. Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and supple Gamay as minority reds. 8 AOCs including prestigious Dezaley and Saint-Saphorin.
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: Destemming
Operation consisting in eliminating the vegetal part of the bunch supporting the berries, its maceration with the must giving a herbaceous taste to the wine.
