Very selective manual harvest of Chasselas grapes. Crushing and pneumatic pressing followed by overnight settling of the juice. Subsequent fermentation, including malolactic fermentation, in large oak casks. Maturation on the fine lees for five to six months, with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring).

Medium straw-yellow in colour. Elegant nose with hints of lime blossom and white fruit. Fresh mouthfeel with lovely persistence.

The vertiginous terraced vineyards overlooking this part of Lake Geneva are formed of moraine deposits with varied properties. Soils here are generally lighter than those further west in the La Côte appellation situated between Lausanne and Geneva. Gravelly clay deposits dominate the terroir in and around Saint-Saphorin.
