The 2020 Dézaley Grand Cru Médinette is the recent edition of one of the icon wines of this appellation in the Lavaux. The wine opens deep, intense and complex, with honeyed tropical fruit aromas that are intertwined with finely flinty notes on the nose. This complexity is proceeded on the palate, which reveals a rich and dense but elegant and fine Chasselas with a creamy texture and a firm, refreshing and sustainable mineral structure. This isn’t a bone-dry Dézaley but a round and mouth-filling one with a moderately powerful finish. This should be great to enjoy with fish or white meat in creamy sauces. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Zurich in February 2022.
Chasselas, also known as Gutedel in Germany and Fendant in Switzerland, is a white grape variety with a long history in Europe, particularly in Switzerland, France (notably in the Lake Geneva region), and Germany. It produces wines that are light-bodied, delicate, and often described as crisp and refreshing. Chasselas wines typically exhibit flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus fruits, along with subtle floral and mineral notes. They are characterized by their smooth texture and moderate acidity, making them easy to drink and suitable for a variety of occasions. What makes Chasselas unique is its versatility; it can be crafted into dry, off-dry, or slightly sweet wines, appealing to different preferences and culinary pairings. Chasselas wines are enjoyed as apéritifs, with seafood, salads, and cheese fondue, reflecting its cultural significance in Alpine regions where it thrives in cool climates and chalky soils.

Pretty nose of mango, lychee, honeysuckle and elderflower; palate of sweet watermelon, red apple and a neat herbal backbone. (Silver) - DWWA 2022
Winery Notes
• Hand harvested (from 25 y/o vines), crushed, short maceration on the skins, fermented in foudre for 10 months.
• With an ideal southern aspect, one that takes advantage of the reflected rays of sunlight from Lake Geneva below (altitude 400-600 meters), and the looming presence of the surrounding Alps, the Chasselas that Louis Bovard grows here defies the neutral description that is so frequently applied to the variety. Medinette is rich and complex, subtly mineral and impressively poised – in short, a Grand Cru wine.
