Chasselas<\/a> plays a central role in the wine identity of Lavaux. This white grape variety, very common in French-speaking Switzerland, is appreciated for its finesse, freshness, and ability to express terroir. It perfectly reflects the balance between soil, climate, and the winemaker\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
