The wine region of Villeneuve
Chablais AOC production area in Vaud (63 ha on the eastern shores of Lake Geneva, mild climate regulated by the lake, foehn aiding ripening, soils of alluvial limestone, moraines and gypsum): Chasselas leads in whites, fully expressing the Chablais terroir — mineral with fresh white fruits, taut and delicate, structure balanced by limestone. Pinot Noir and Gamay reds of character, the smallest production in Chablais, less harsh climate thanks to the lake.
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: Véraison
A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
