| Crisp dry fruity whites such as Chasselas from Switzerland or Chignin from Savoie are the best pairings. |
|
| Chasselas grapes are suffering from a poor, old-fashioned image in Switzerland. |
|
| Anyway, Chasselas grapes have not been grown here for a long time and have been replaced by Chardonnay. |
|
| Well-born and bred Chasselas is highly sensitive to the diversity found in the soils, exposure and altitude. |
|
| This is the reason why wines made from Chasselas vines take on the taste of the local soil and do not display a same dominating flavour. |
|
| Chasselas is not widely planted in New World vineyards, which incessantly seek to copy the world's greatest. |
|
| Varieties such as Chardonnay and Riesling are more winter hardy than Pinot Noir, Chasselas, and Cabernet Sauvignon. |
|
| Chasselas also has quite the home in France where it is the common component of many a white table wine. |
|
| In Germany it is known as Weiiser Gutedel, and in France is often known as Chasselas de Moissac. |
|
| It was bred as recently as 1852 in the Loire, probably as a table grape from Chasselas and the distinctly ordinary Muscat de Saumur, according to Galet. |
