The wine region of Villette
AOC Lavaux UNESCO production site (terraces, clay-limestone soils on red molasse, south-west exposure): Chasselas reigns in white (~3/4 of Lavaux vines) — fresh and mineral nose, intense and fruity attack of citrus, white flowers and white-fleshed fruit, slightly rounded mid-palate preserving balance, taut finish. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Gamaret and Garanoir as complement. One of the best Chasselas village expressions in the Vaud.
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: Runoff
