Dézaley Chemin de Fer Grand Cru 2016

Grape Variety – Chasselas

Soon after arriving in Epesses in 1903, Albert Massy bought his first plots of vines from the Fonjallaz family. The land was called Clos du Chemin de Fer because a railway line was being built not far from there to link Geneva and Milan. “The Dézaley was my great-grandfather’s first wine. We never changed its iconic label,” says Gregory.

Vinified in wooden casks for several months, Dézaley has character. “And it does not benefit from three, but from te four suns of Lavaux: that of the sky, that of the lake, that of the walls and then… The heart of the winegrower”, says Benjamin.

With great aromatic complexity, this Chasselas offers notes of citrus fruits, white flowers, honey and dried fruits. Generous on the palate, this grand cru concludes with a very long finish. Over the years, it becomes more complex. In 2017, the Dézaley Chemin de Fer 1999 won the Mondial du Chasselas.
