Simple and fresh dry whites, pale golden colour, supple mouth with moderate acidity, with understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections as a heritage variety, studied for its genetic interest. Rare and poorly documented white grape grown in very small quantities.

The wine region of La Côte

Largest Vaud wine appellation (52% of the canton), 2,007 ha arcing around Lake Geneva between Geneva and Lausanne. Signature Chasselas (90% of the traditional vineyard): lively, fruity whites with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, fresh almond and gunflint, taut, mineral palate — the Swiss aperitif wine par excellence. Also fine silky Pinot Noir, fruity Gamay in red. 14 AOC villages including Fechy, Mont-sur-Rolle, Luins.

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: Overmaturation

When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
