Overview

Among the most iconic expressions of Chasselas in Switzerland, Clos du Rocher comes from the reclaimed rockslide that destroyed much of the medieval village of Yvorne in 1584. Deceptively delicate in its youth, it is a flinty and saline Chasselas with a core of ripe orchard fruits and a remarkable ability to age without losing its youthful vibrancy.
