The wine region of Mont-sur-Rolle
Millennium-old AOC of La Côte in Vaud on the shores of Lake Geneva (~250 ha across 3 communes): signature Chasselas as ruling white (70%) — ample and well-structured profile, fruity and mineral with linden, honey, citrus and white flowers, touch of lemon and fresh minerality, signature velvety finesse reflecting terroir. Rocky subsoils, clays, molasses and Rhône glacial alluvions. Warm lake winds, mild protected climate, ample structure and full palate.
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: Second fermentation
In the making of champagne, fermentation of the base wine to which is added the liqueur de tirage and which takes place in the bottle. This second fermentation produces the carbon dioxide, and therefore the bubbles that make up the effervescence of the wine.
