Chasselas is a dry, light-bodied white wine with low to moderate acidity, known for its delicate, subtle character. It is fresh and easy-drinking, often showing soft notes of apple, pear and white flowers, with a gentle mineral edge.
Cooler climates such as Switzerland produce crisp, clean styles with a refined, mineral-driven profile, while slightly warmer regions can bring out riper orchard fruit flavours and a rounder texture, though the wine remains elegant and understated.
