Yvorne

Wine from Yvorne comes out of Chablais, Switzerland, where it sits as a wine region.

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

The ground underneath is calcareous, limestone and schist.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as lakeside.

Dry white wine, red wine and sparkling wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows crisp, floral, delicate with refreshing acidity and medium-bodied, plus one more.

Labels here fall under the Premier Grand Cru.

Names to look for on a shelf: Artisans Vignerons, Chateau Maison Blanche, Domaine de L’Ovaille and Obrist-Vevey.

At the table these bottles work with seafood, chicken, cheese and salads.

Serve chilled.

Rewards decades in the cellar.
