The Gutedel grape, also known as Chasselas, is a local specialty in Germany, Switzerland and Alsace. Its home turf in Germany is the tiny sub-region of Markgraflerland located within Baden, Germany’s warmest growing region. It sits at the edge of the Black Forest which protects the area from inclement weather.

A top organic and biodynamic estate in the heart of the Luberon region of France, Château la Canorgue produces both reds and whites.
