Chasselas "Les Danaïdes"
Chasselas is the staple grape of Switzerland. Nothing can quite compare to the subtle yet complex depth of the Chasselas grape. On the surface, it is an easy-drinking aperitif style wine designed to be enjoyed no matter the occasion. But peel back the layers, and you'll discover the depth and beauty of this native Alpine wine.
It can be enjoyed with anything from a raclette and fondue to eggs and toast. Our family's winery in Domaine du Centaure has been producing Chasselas right off the Rhone River in the Geneva region for over 400 years and has earned the title of one of the best Chasselas in Switzerland, more occasions than we can name. This wine can transport you to the Alps in one sip. To learn more, you can check out our blog here.
Bouquet: Floral with subtle hints of orange and lime blossoms.
Palate: Mouth-watering mineralization and signature effervescent surprising depth of honeysuckle, pear, and orange blossoms make Chasselas a light yet deeply enjoyable wine.
Pairings: The quintessential go-to wine for any accusation. Great as a aperitif or with hors d'oeuvre. Chasselas is THE raclette and fondue wine. It is begging to be enjoyed with cheese and not overpower the pallet. The boundaries of Chasselas are limited only by the imagination.
