Clos du Paradis - Aigle Grand Cru

An exceptional Chasselas that bears the name of paradise, born from privileged vines on the hill of Aigle Castle where winemakers found happiness cultivating this extraordinary corner. This Grand Cru represents the pinnacle of Propriété Veillon Au Cloître’s wine tradition, where the unique terroir of glacial origin with sand two meters deep creates ideal conditions for the vine. Slow vinification at low temperature enhances the mineral character typical of Alpine soil, generating a wine of elegant structure and incomparable finesse. On the nose, it reveals itself delicate with distinctive mineral notes found in a structured palate, rich with persistent aromas and a generous finish that envelops the palate. Perfect both as a refined aperitif and to accompany white meats, aged cheeses, or premium cured meats. With aging potential of 4-5 years, this Chasselas evolves positively over time, representing the quintessence of French-Swiss wine art in the SIMONIUS selection.
