The wine region of Dezaley
Legendary Grand Cru of Lavaux (54 ha, vertiginous UNESCO terraces 2007, slopes 90%+): Chasselas reigns in white (~90%) — signature profile of distinctive smoky and burnt character, aromas of almond, honey and caramel, floral and fruity touches, powerful structure, exceptional generosity and ageing potential. Clay-limestone soils, broken flint walls amplifying sun, south exposure over Lake Geneva — the most accomplished Chasselas expression in Switzerland.
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: Sweet (flavor)
The flavour provided by the residual sugars naturally present in the wine as well as by certain alcohols. This sensation can range from a simple impression of smoothness to a clear sweetness. We speak of roundness, fatness and mellowness.
