Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate of simple red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, cherry), gentle spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Once grown in the South-West, now nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its genetic value. A rare French grape, witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West.

The wine region of Vully

Smallest wine region in Switzerland (~150 ha), only intercantonal AOC Vaud-Fribourg, north-west shores of Lake Morat. Signature Chasselas as king white: fine and delicate with white flowers, citrus, green apple, sweet almond and a lakeside mineral touch, taut refreshing palate — quintessential Swiss aperitif. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), supple Gamay, floral Müller-Thurgau, aromatic Traminer, local Freiburger specialty. Chiselled wines.

The wine region of Neuchâtel

Swiss vineyard on the western shore of the lake, 606 ha in the Three Lakes region. Signature Pinot Noir (55% of the vineyard, the local prince): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Specialty invented here: Œil-de-Perdrix, a delicate Pinot Noir rosé with salmon hues. Lively, mineral Chasselas (citrus, flint) in white, including the identity-marking Non-Filtré primeur.

The word of the wine: Baco 22A

A white grape variety resulting from the hybridization of the folle blanche and the noah. It is the only hybrid to remain authorized in a French appellation vineyard, that of Armagnac, where it thrives in particular on the tawny sands of Bas-Armagnac. When distilled, its wine produces round, smooth and aromatic eaux-de-vie with hints of ripe fruit.
