The wine region of Cotes de l'Orbe
Vaud AOC between Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchatel, clay-limestone soils, ~180 ha — reputedly the oldest wine region in Switzerland (Roman introduction). Atypically red-dominant in Vaud (75%). Pinot Noir reigns: airy and silky with red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spiced touch, fine tannins. Round and juicy Gamay as complement.
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: Mineral
Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
