The Neuchâtel appellation, registered with the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in Switzerland, stands out for its uniqueness and charm. Located on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, this wine region benefits from a temperate microclimate and a unique terroir comprised of limestone and clay soils, ideal for vine cultivation. The predominant grape variety is Pinot Noir, accounting for approximately 60% of the production, producing elegant and slightly spicy red wines. Chasselas, used to produce fresh and fruity white wines, is also emblematic of the appellation. Neuchâtel wines are recognised for their finesse and their ability to reflect their terroir's specificities through traditional and environmentally-friendly winemaking methods. The appellation is also notable for the 'Œil-de-Perdrix', a subtle and delicate rosé made from Pinot Noir, which has gained international acclaim. With its rich traditions and the passion of its winegrowers, the Neuchâtel appellation offers a diverse selection of wines that will appeal to both enthusiasts and expert oenophiles, making their discovery an enriching experience for wine cellar management.
