Epesses blanc Lavaux AOC – Chasselas from the Heart of the Lavaux
The Epesses blanc Lavaux AOC from Vins et Vignobles Les Tourelles is a pure Chasselas from the UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux in the canton of Vaud. Mineral, fresh and well-balanced, it embodies the elegant style of this unique wine region on Lake Geneva.
Producer: Vins et Vignobles Les Tourelles, Puidoux
The estate Vins et Vignobles Les Tourelles is situated in the heart of the Lavaux, right next to the Tour de Marsens. Chasselas is the most important grape variety in this UNESCO World Heritage region, reaching its highest quality and finest character here. The Tour de Marsens is the oldest building in the Lavaux (built in 1160) – the vineyards around the tower were cultivated by monks over 850 years ago. The vineyard plots benefit from triple solar radiation: direct sunlight, light reflected from the lake, and heat stored in the dry-stone terrace walls. Les Tourelles captures the potential of the different terroirs and produces single-variety wines that give each appellation its own distinct character.
