Details and technical informations about Winery Jean-Luc Rochat's Idylle.
Discover the grape variety: Rousseli
Most certainly Provençal and more particularly, as its name indicates, from the Var department. It is in the process of disappearing because it is practically no longer multiplied in nurseries, although it is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A. It is probably a descendant of the white gouais and the black ouliven, to be continued! Rousseli is practically unknown in other wine-producing countries, in France it was used both as a table grape and as a wine grape.

The wine region of Vaud
Vaud is Switzerland's second-largest wine region, located in the French-speaking southwest. The region - which is also one of 26 cantons in the country - is best known for its crisp, white Fendant wines (the national name for the Chasselas variety) and its stunning lakeside landscapes. Both of these reach their zenith in the grand crus of Lavaux/dezaley">Dezaley and Calamin. These famous Lavaux Vineyard terraces, which rise steeply up above Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), are considered of such importance that they are now enjoy protected status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
