HISTORY: Born on the shores of Lake Geneva, Chasselas has kept its old name of Fendant in Valais. This name comes from the fact that the ripe berry splits under finger pressure. Fendant arrived in the canton in the 19th century and became the main regional grape variety after the vineyards were rebuilt following the phylloxera crisis.

The subtle bouquet brings out intense aromas of lime blossom and honey.
The elegant structure of this unctuous wine is characterised by a supple, round flavour both on the attack and on the finish.
Ideal as an aperitif, fendant is a wonderful accompaniment to fondue, raclette and sauerkraut.
