FIELD NOTE 01
Spanning several states
This is a region that includes the area around Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Biel in Bern, and Vully along Lake Morat. Vully is an appellation that straddles the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg, showing that administrative borders and wine regions do not always match up.
FIELD NOTE 02
Pinot Noir rosé
The Œil-de-Perdrix, which originated in Neuchâtel, is a rosé of Pinot Noir. It’s easy to remember if you link the grape (Pinot Noir), the color (rosé), and the region’s traditional wine name. You can also compare it to Pinot Noir reds from the same area.
FIELD NOTE 03
The choice of unfiltered
Non Filtré is a signature unfiltered Chasselas bottling. Unlike rosé, this is a procedural feature: skipping filtration and extracting color from skins are separate operations. Distinguish between color differentiation and pre-bottling treatment by their placement in the process flow.
The former is a rosé of Pinot Noir, the latter is unfiltered Chasselas. Both the variety and the production methods differ.
