Chasselas is a white grape variety primarily grown in Switzerland, France, and Germany. Known for its delicate flavor profile, it produces wines that are often fruity and floral, with notes of peach, apricot, and sometimes a hint of nuttiness. The grape thrives in cooler climates and is particularly well-suited to the Lake Geneva region. In addition to its use in still wines, Chasselas is also popular for producing sparkling wines. The grape is often enjoyed young, showcasing its fresh characteristics, but can also develop complexity with age. It is a versatile grape that pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
