Details and technical informations about Winery Francois Imhof's Les Côtes Dézaley Grand Cru.
Discover the grape variety: Chasselas
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 Dezaley
Legendary Grand Cru of Lavaux (54 ha, vertiginous UNESCO terraces 2007, slopes 90%+): Chasselas reigns in white (~90%) — signature profile of distinctive smoky and burnt character, aromas of almond, honey and caramel, floral and fruity touches, powerful structure, exceptional generosity and ageing potential. Clay-limestone soils, broken flint walls amplifying sun, south exposure over Lake Geneva — the most accomplished Chasselas expression in Switzerland.
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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
