The Neuchâtel Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), located in Switzerland, is renowned for its elegant wines that capture the essence of the regional terroir. Nestled on the northern slope of Lake Neuchâtel, this wine region benefits from a temperate climate with lake influences, which ensures optimal grape maturation. The limestone soils impart a distinctive minerality, essential to the identity of Neuchâtel wines.
Among its iconic grape varieties, Chasselas stands out, producing white wines of great finesse, with floral aromas and a refreshing liveliness. Neuchâtel is also recognized for its red wines, primarily based on Pinot Noir, which offer fruity and delicate profiles, sometimes complemented by a touch of Gamaret for added complexity.
This region also embraces innovative tradition with the rosé wine "Œil-de-Perdrix," a Pinot Noir rosé, appreciated for its salmon color and delicate red fruit notes. For wine enthusiasts, the Neuchâtel AOC represents an invitation to explore authentic and expressive wines that, while honoring traditions, are willing to explore new oenological horizons. Ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes, Neuchâtel wines fit perfectly into any well-thought-out cellar management.
