You won't like it for the Apéritif. This wine deserves a real meal. I would definitely go for poultry and old cheeses. Open it 2-3 hours before.

Vincent Chollet and his wife Valérie are now in charge of the family estate. Located in the heart of the vines with an outstanding view on lake Leman, the estate counts 7ha of vines divided into 35 parcels for a result of 31 different wines! Main grapes are Chasselas & Plant Robert but also Mondeuse. It impossible to dislike the wines, they are all worth it. We are always amazed how everything can be elegant AND intense. A huge work for an excellent overall quality! Good Job!

Vaud is the second largent wine region in Switzerland totalizing almost 3'800 ha. It's divided into 6 subregions: la Côte, Lavaux, Chablais, Vully, Bonvillars and les Côtes de l'Orbe. With a lot of different terroirs, influenced by mountains and lake Leman, Vaud is the homeland of Chasselas where the grape gives its best. The vineyard is then known for its Pinot Noir and Gamay mostly. Lavaux, the only swiss vineyard in the UNESCO ranking, is definitely worth the visit.
