La Côte
[lah KOHT]
This is one of the three main growing areas in the Swiss canton of VAUD. It’s located between Geneva and Lausanne on the sloping northern shore of Lake Geneva. La Côte is chiefly a white-wine area, and CHASSELAS (locally known as Dorin) is the dominant grape. The best wines come from the areas around Féchy, Luins, Perroy, Montsur-Rolle, and Vinzel.
