l'Alpage Chasselas - 2023 (750ml)

100% Chasselas grown in the Mont-sur-Rolle region of Vaud in Switzerland.  

Importer's Notes:

L’Alpage is a custom cuvée selected by Eric Solomon to capture the pure minerality and refreshing qualities of Chasselas grown in specific terroirs along the upper Rhône river banks. This style of Chasselas is a friendly, thirstquenching wine perfect for after a day of hiking or snowshoeing and always welcome with cave-aged Gruyère, raclette, or fondue. Initially, we launched this cuvée from vineyards in the Valais under the local name Fendant, but with the 2020 vintage, we discovered a plot of Chasselas in the village of Mont-surRolle in La Côte – a singular place with a quintessentially Swiss vista taking in Lac Léman and the Alps. If you need a mental image, they’re a lot like to beginning of the Sound of Music!
