Domaine Henri Cruchon, La Côte (Vaud, Switzerland) 2021

Feb 7, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 Domaine Henri Cruchon rests on the shores of Lac Léman (also known as Lake Geneva), west of Lausanne in French-speaking Vaud, Switzerland.  Chasselas (Chas-a-la) is Vaud’s signature grape, which has grown there since the 16th century.  While Chasselas is unknown to many, this unique Swiss variety should appeal to those looking for something different.  Due to its refreshing, not-too-intense flavor profile, Chasselas is often referred to as a "breakfast wine."  This 2017 Chasselas is pure, finessed, and highly elegant.  It is fresh with herbal notes and a hint of apricot and golden apple with a salty finish, making this wine the perfect go-to.
