	Swiss Wines of Valais: gastronomic matches with chasselas and fendant
		Bringing up the subject of the Chasselas grape when talking about wine in Switzerland is a given.
		Well-born and bred Chasselas is highly sensitive to the diversity found in the soils, exposure and altitude.
		And though we didn’t get the opportunity to taste it, I would nevertheless like to evoke the La Mouette 2004, the high-flying cuvee by the aforementioned Simon Maye, who is a good example of identification through the terroir.

		Of the whites, bright and floral Fendant is king, named for the ripeness of its golden Chasselas grapes, which, when pressed, se fendre, or split, rather than squish.
		Until the mid-twentieth century, Vaud was Switzerland’s leading wine-growing canton, and the vineyards lining the Côte and Lavaux shores of Lake Geneva hold some of the most picturesque walks in the whole country.
		Chasselas is ubiquitous, and with their concentration on this one white grape to the exclusion of all others, Vaudois vignerons, particularly those at Dézaley, St Saphorin and Epesses, produce some of the best of all Swiss wines.

		It was the Romans who first planted Chasselas grapes near Lausanne to keep their legions supplied with wine and uphold their morale.
		In the Middle Ages, monasteries fostered the wine-making tradition by landscaping terraced vineyards on the Lavaux slopes overlooking the lakes.
		Today Chasselas vines account for nearly 70% of the total wine output in the canton and most of it is consumed locally.

		This wine is made from a selected parcel of Chasselas grapes.
		Composed once again of Chasselas, it has a pale straw/gold colour and a subtle, mineral and gunflint nose, though hints of apricot and richer, peachy fruit peek through.
		On the palate this is concentrated and rich, with lots of grippy fruit skin qualities: like orange peel and pear skins, and a lovely hint of honey before taut mineral acidity powers through.

	(03/04) Nick Dobson Wines - Swiss wines
		Chasselas is the archetypal Swiss grape, though unfortunately it has attained some notoriety due to large volumes of not very good wine that lack concentration and flavour.
		I was quite startled to learn that 49% of Switzerland's 2002 harvest was red wine grapes, and white grapes - especially Chasselas - are being replaced by Gamaret and other red grapes to such an extent that the balance will by now have tipped towards red.
		The Gamay origins of this wines are quite clear, with a typical watercolour paintbox aroma, and plenty of fresh red fruits, currants and sweet, floral notes.

		The 2002 St. Hubertus Chasselas is fresh and crisp, with lively acidity.
		Unfortunately, the Chasselas vines are right at the top of the 70-acre vineyard, next to some of the forested area that burned.
		The Gebert brothers were unable to pick any of their grapes in 2003, either because of direct fire damage or because of the smoke taint that makes many of the Kelowna-area grapes unsuitable for wine this vintage.

		Fendant is the Swiss name for the variery known elsewhere as Chasselas.
		Chasselas has a poor reputation for making flabby uninteresting wines.

		This choice is not based on blind tradition or folklore, but rather on the fact that we are convinced that the old vinification procedures better respect the identity of the grape and therefore that of the wine.
		Swiss Chasselas is becoming and will remain a European specialty on the condition that it has its own identity and that it does not become "drowned" in a wearisome standard of "average white wine" where it would quickly occupy the tail-end of the classification.
		Made from Chasselas grapes grown on lees, this dry sparkling wine has a well-defined regional character.

		Traditionally, Chasselas and Gamay grapes have been the main grapes grown in Geneva.
		While a glass of well-made Chasselas is still a refreshing accompaniment to the local cheeses and lake fish, it was felt that Geneva wines needed to be taken more seriously.
		The humble Chasselas and Gamay have gradually been replaced with noble varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – Geneva is, after all, not that far from Burgundy - and more unusual ones like Gamaret and Kerner.

		The Pays de Vaud has put itself firmly on the world map of wine thanks to the unique qualities of its Chasselas which the soils of the region endow with a rich diversity of accents and characteristics.
		As a variety it is highly sensitive to environmental influences; it fully expresses its character on the terraced slopes and soils rich in chalk, sediments and alluvium, such as those of Aigle, Yvorne, Ollon, Villeneuve and Saint-Saphorin.
		This permanent quest for the balance between quantity and quality has given our Chasselas a remarkable structure, allied to a delicacy and finesse which expresses all the nuances and subtleties of our native soils.

		An underlying acidity and a slight effervescence give an agreeable overall impression with its perfect acidity-alcohol balance.
		Chasselas makes an excellent and enticing "café" wine, so easy to drink, either as an aperitif or with light food such as entrees of fresh water fish and of course with the traditional Swiss cheese recipes.

	Chasselas - Information on Chasselas and Chasselas wines
		In Germany it is known as Weiiser Gutedel, and in France is often known as Chasselas de Moissac.
		It is a relatively easy variety to cultivate although its naturally high vigour means it is not suited too very dry and very fertile soils.
		Yet it is the 1 hectare of very old vine Chasselas, planted in 1908 by Nicolas’s grandfather, on deep clay over limestone, yielding very little on account of its propensity to millerande (it comes with age), that lies behind the excellent quality and value of this wine.

		It is produced in the inland valley region and in the northern coastal counties, notably Solano, Mendocino, and Napa.
		Known in the Napa Valley and adjacent districts as the Golden Chasselas and elsewhere in the state under its proper name, the grape is not a variety of Chasselas, but none other than the Palomino, celebrated for the production of Sherry in the Jerez district of Spain and elsewhere.
		Presumably Schramsberger Golden Chasselas, praised by Robert Louis Stevenson in his Silverado Squatters, was made from this grape.

	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - The Wines of French Switzerland
		In Vaud the grape is sometimes known as "Chasselas" and sometimes as "Dorin", in Geneva and Neuchatel it is thought of as "Perlan", and in Valais it is called "Fendant".
		Regardless of the name it carries, however, the grape produces fresh, dry, fruity wines that are relatively low in acid and high in alcohol.
		When selecting Swiss whites, the most important things to know are the name of the grape, the producer, the town and the Canton from which the wine came.

		In some ways, it was similar to the skills of local winemakers who start with just a Chasselas vintage and then use their skills to create wines of individuality and great complexity.
		Unlike the regular Chatonneyre wine, this cuvee was lees stirred for six months to increase its potential for ageing.
		In the mouth, it was tart and refreshing with snappy citric flavours and a "stony" mineral taste reflecting the local soil.

		The Chablais winegrowing district lie between the eastern end of Lake Geneva and the Valais, and is centred on the towns of Aigle, Yvorne, and Ollon.
		The great majority of wine produced here is white Chasselas, though limited quantities of other varieties are also grown, including some respectable reds from Pinot Noir and Gamay.
		A wine from Chasselas grapes grown on limestone and gravel soils in terraced vineyards along the Rhône near to Aigle. This wine undergoes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. A brilliant pale yellow, with gunflint aromas, and principally mineral flavours, it is a good match for white meats and cheese dishes. Or just on its own.

		The center of this region is the town of Sion, which is a name you might encounter on a wine label.
		The primary white grape is called "Fendant" (known as Chasselas in other parts of the world) and its wine is dry, a bit low in acidity and doesn't have particularly distinctive aromas or flavors (some endorsement, huh?).
		Made of Chasselas, his Fendant is another rather delicate, light, dry white wine.
