Prisme 2023 is a Chasselas that tells a story of contrasts. A warm vintage, yes, but punctuated by cool breaths, violent storms, scorching peaks, then luminous lulls. A meteorological mosaic that the wine captures with almost musical precision. Nothing is simple in 2023, and that's exactly what Prisme reveals: a richness of nuances that can only be seen through patient work and a sensitive reading of the terroir.

On the nose, the wine oscillates between orchard fruits (mirabelle plum, apricot, quince), discreet woody notes, mineral touches of flint, and a more solar brightness of mango and citrus. Flowers, spices, a smoky hint, some herbs… but always with an elegance that remains clear to everyone. On the palate, it is ample and luminous, with a tension that gently intensifies, a broad yet held texture, and a long, salivating, salty finish, with astonishing balance for such a warm vintage.

Prisme is the result of two distinct vinifications—one delicate, the other more intense—blended after a long aging on lees. The final blend yields a wine that is both dense and ethereal, precise and vibrant, showing how subtly Chasselas can interpret climatic complexity.

Pair with cuisine that loves contrasts: ceviche, roasted vegetables, Japanese cuisine, aged cheeses, spicy but balanced dishes. A white for those who like to think a little… or simply let themselves be carried away.

Prisme 2023: a luminous, nuanced, vibrant wine. A Chasselas that reveals what the eye doesn't see and what the vintage hides behind its apparent simplicity.
