Les Frères Dubois De la Tour Dezaley-Marsens Grand Cru 2007
The king of Chasselas wines, from the steepest slopes along Lake Geneva, in the Lavaux region, where the vineyards are cultivated in terraces, supported by stone walls, and where the sun shines three times: on the vine, the walls and the lake.
Tasting Notes: Dense and expressive aromas, notes of honey, hazelnut and toasted bread. Powerful palate, rich, fruity and complex with a long finish. Pairing: Serve young (1-3 years), ideal as an aperitif and with fish; later ideal with cheese. Color: white Varietal: Chasselas Bottle Volume (ml): 750 Appellation: Dezaley-Marsens Grand Cru Rating: **** Food & Wine Wine Guide 2009 (2006 vintage) Producer Website:http://www.dubois.ch/
This “Ember of Hell” is a Chasselas from the Lavaux area along Lake Geneva. In ancient times, the steep vineyards were unstable, resulting in frequent landslides. Often, winegrowers would find their stone walls destroyed in the spring, and thought the devil resided under their vineyards.
Tasting Notes: Expressive bouquet, with notes of flint and grilled almond. Gegenerous, with a lot of character and terroir. Pairing: Serve young (1-3 years), ideal as an aperitif and with fish and white meat; later ideal with cheese.
