Mont-sur-Rolle

Wine from Mont-sur-Rolle comes out of La Cote (Vaud), Switzerland, where it sits as a sub-region.

The signature grape is Chasselas, backed by Pinot Noir and Gamay.

The climate is continental.

White wine and red wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows perfect for summer sipping and fruit-forward with soft tannins.

Quality is codified by the Grand Cru and the Premier Grand Cru, which is worth reading off the label.

Pour them alongside seafood, chicken dishes and soft cheeses.
