Chasselas
Chasselas, Switzerland's most cultivated native variety, excels in French-speaking regions, ripening early and suited to cool alpine slopes. Vigilant management is crucial to prevent excessive vigour. The wines are revered for its finesse, and therefore, its neutral character highlights terroir influence in Swiss wines. While Chasselas is commonly grown as a table grape worldwide, in French-speaking Switzerland, it is esteemed as an aperitif wine, valued for its refreshing, fruity, and delicate qualities.
Taste
Chasselas, characterized by its subtlety, exhibits low acidity and alcohol content, and lacks pronounced aromatics. It possesses a distinct freshness and elegance, defining its unique charm and delicate nature.
Chasselas has the capacity for graceful aging in cellars, and as it matures, it develops more pronounced honeyed and nutty notes, acquiring a deep golden hue.
