The wine region of Lavaux
Iconic Vaud vineyard (Switzerland) on terraced slopes along Lake Geneva's north shore, UNESCO-listed in 2007. Chasselas reigns as signature white: fine and delicate with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, white apple, fresh almond and a chalky mineral touch, a taut and straight palate — Swiss soul, for aperitif or fondue. Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and supple Gamay as minority reds. 8 AOCs including prestigious Dezaley and Saint-Saphorin.
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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
