In Germany it is known as Weiiser Gutedel, and in France is often known as Chasselas de Moissac. |
Crisp dry fruity whites such as Chasselas from Switzerland or Chignin from Savoie are the best pairings. |
Anyway, Chasselas grapes have not been grown here for a long time and have been replaced by Chardonnay. |
Varieties such as Chardonnay and Riesling are more winter hardy than Pinot Noir, Chasselas, and Cabernet Sauvignon. |
Well-born and bred Chasselas is highly sensitive to the diversity found in the soils, exposure and altitude. |
Chasselas grapes are suffering from a poor, old-fashioned image in Switzerland. |
