Domaine Delalex Marin "Clos de Pont" 2024

Domaine Delalex Clos de Pont: An Outstanding White Wine from Savoie

Made exclusively from the Chasselas grape variety, it offers greater depth and complexity than the estate's traditional cuvées. Its balance of freshness, minerality and aromatic richness makes it an excellent gastronomic wine for lovers of fine Alpine white wines.

A Unique Alpine Terroir

The Clos de Pont vineyard is planted on well-exposed hillsides with glacial soils that are perfectly suited to expressing the character of the Chasselas grape.

The influence of nearby Lake Geneva moderates temperatures, while the surrounding Alps create ideal day-to-night temperature variations. These natural conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their freshness while developing remarkable aromatic complexity.

Carefully controlled yields further enhance the concentration and elegance of the finished wine.
