Chateau d’Auvernier Neuchatel Blanc 2022

Description

Chateau d’Auvernier Neuchatel Blanc which is light in colour with an aroma of lime, is a light fruity wine with just a hint of a sparkle due to its maturing on lees. It is derived from the Chasselas Fendant Roux. This vine of oriental origin was brought back to our region by the Crusaders.

This is a cheerful wine. Just the thing for aperitifs. It goes well with grilled or boiled fish as well as with seafood.

Perfect with cheese, it rounds off the evening on a joyful note.

Few companies, in Switzerland or elsewhere, can boast D’Auvernier’s 400 years of family history. Keeping the estate in the
family has always been a priority.

Hand-picked, from end of September to early October.

Yield per unit area: 60 hectolitres/hectare. Harvesting is limited to 900g/m2 in AOC. After being carefully settled, yeast is added to the must, then it is fermented at a thermo-regulated temperature of about 18° C. The maturing of this wine with its lime aroma on fine lees at a low temperature enables us to preserve its slightly sparkling character on the tongue. Immensely popular and suitable for all occasions, this wine is the pinnacle of our range. This wine represents approximately 25 % of our production.
