Chasselas - From Féchy to Dézaley: A voyage of discovery through the treasures of canton Vaud's vineyardsChandra Kurt, Louis-Philippe Bovard
Gebundene Ausgabe
In collaboration with legendary winemaker Louis-Philippe Bovard, the well-known Swiss wine author Chandra Kurt takes a closer look at a global wine phenomenon - the Chasselas grape. Although it is grown all over the world, it is mostly enjoyed as a table grape. Not so in Switzerland, where Chasselas is the most important variety of white wine grape, especially on the shores of Lake Geneva, where it originates. " Chasselas is like Chanel - timeless, elegant, feminine, classic. Pure understatement, which is what makes haute couture", says Chandra Kurt. Because even though Chasselas may appear moderate and humble, there is unbelievable character and force in this grape. Chasselas - From Féchy to Dézaley is not just a wine book, but a treasure trove of traditional recipes from Vaud. They are easy to reproduce and go perfectly with a glass of Chasselas. Illustrated with unique woodcuts from 1935 by Paul Boesch and modern photographs by Patricia von Ah.
