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 Saint-Leonard
Exceptional hillside in the central Valais between Sion and Sierre (right bank of the Rhône), chalky-gravelly soils and record sunshine (2,000 h/year). Fendant (Chasselas) dominates as the signature white — taut with white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, almond and a characteristic chalky mineral touch. Pinot Noir is the signature red — elegant and silky with red fruits and a spicy touch. Petite Arvine, Cornalin, Humagne, Syrah and Fumin as complements.
The wine region of Valais
Switzerland's largest vineyard, capital of native grapes. Straight, precise alpine whites: light, floral Chasselas (Fendant), signature Petite Arvine with saline, grapefruit and rhubarb notes, rich, apricoty Amigne, mineral Humagne Blanche. Altitude reds: fine Pinot Noir, crisp Gamay, native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge, spicy and deep. Highly precise alpine age-worthy wines.
The word of the wine: Garrigue
Notes reminiscent of aromatic Mediterranean herbs such as thyme or rosemary, found in many southern wines.
