The wine region of Bielersee
Swiss vineyard on steep slopes around Lake Biel, micro-climate tempered by the water and 70+ grape varieties. Signature Chasselas reigns in white: mineral and nervy with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, white apple, flint and a lakeside saline touch, taut, thirst-quenching palate — the Bernese soul as aperitif or with cheese. Fine, silky Pinot Noir (red cherry, undergrowth). Ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), fresh Chardonnay, straight Pinot Blanc.
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: Grand Cru
In Burgundy, the fourth and final level of classification (above the regional, communal and premier cru appellations), designating the wines produced on delimited plots of land (the climats) whose name alone constitutes the appellation. The climats classified as Grand Cru are 32 in the Côte d'Or plus one in Chablis which is divided into 7 distinct climats. Representing barely 1.5% of the production, the Grand Crus are the aristocracy of Burgundy wines.
