The wine region of Calamin
Lavaux UNESCO Grand Cru AOC in Vaud (16 ha in Bourg-en-Lavaux, slopes on Würm glacial moraines and argillaceous molasse, Grand Cru status obtained 2009): exclusive Chasselas in whites — a powerful, thoroughbred wine with multiple aromatic facets, taut mineral notes combined with a warming sensation evoking caramel, a rich savoury finish with a balancing bitter edge. A uniquely deep and homogeneous clay terroir.
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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
