The Trois-Lacs appellation, located in the Seeland region of Switzerland, thrives around Lake Biel, Lake Murten, and Lake Neuchâtel. This AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) benefits from a unique microclimate, influenced by the proximity of the three bodies of water, which moderate temperatures and provide humidity favorable to viticulture. The diverse terroir, comprised of limestone and clay-limestone soils, imparts remarkable structure and minerality to the wines.
The vineyards of Trois-Lacs primarily produce white wines, made from the region's flagship grape variety, Chasselas. This grape variety expresses a characteristic freshness, with delicate aromas of citrus and white flowers, often accompanied by a subtle flint note. The reds, mainly crafted from Pinot Noir, are distinguished by their finesse and elegance, offering notes of red fruits and a hint of spice.
The Trois-Lacs appellation embodies the diversity and richness of Swiss vineyards, delighting enthusiasts, both novices and experienced, seeking new discoveries. In terms of cellar management, these wines promise good aging potential while evolving favorably over time, making the experience of storing and tasting all the more rewarding.
