The wine region of Chablais
Vaud sub-region between Villeneuve and Bex, terraces on glacial moraines and limestone screes, temperate alpine climate moderated by Lake Geneva. Chasselas: taut and mineral with notes of green apple, citrus, sweet almond, white flowers, light honey and flint, chiselled palate and saline finish — most powerful expression of the variety. Key crus: Aigle and Yvorne (1584 rockslide). Elegant Pinot Noir and supple Gamay.
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: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
