Structured, aromatic whites with an ample palate and firm acidity, featuring aromas of white flowers (acacia), white peach, ripe pear, honey, candied citrus, toasted almond and alpine mineral notes. Good length and ageing potential. Absolute star of Roussette de Savoie AOC (especially crus Frangy, Marestel, Monthoux) and Roussette du Bugey AOC. Autochthonous Savoyard variety; legend has it that it was brought from Cyprus by Crusaders in the 14th century.

The wine region of Villeneuve

Chablais AOC production area in Vaud (63 ha on the eastern shores of Lake Geneva, mild climate regulated by the lake, foehn aiding ripening, soils of alluvial limestone, moraines and gypsum): Chasselas leads in whites, fully expressing the Chablais terroir — mineral with fresh white fruits, taut and delicate, structure balanced by limestone. Pinot Noir and Gamay reds of character, the smallest production in Chablais, less harsh climate thanks to the lake.

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.
