Neuchâtel
Wine regionSwitzerland
Neuchâtel is a Swiss lakeside wine origin known for Pinot Noir, Chasselas and the local specialities Œil-de-Perdrix and Non-Filtré.
The vineyards belong to the broader Three Lakes wine region, alongside Lake Biel and Vully. Pinot Noir provides both red wine and Œil-de-Perdrix, the rosé tradition associated with Neuchâtel. Chasselas is a key white grape, with Chardonnay adding another established option.
Non-Filtré is a local Chasselas speciality bottled without filtration, while Œil-de-Perdrix refers to a rosé style rather than a separate grape. These names make the district particularly rewarding to explore beyond a simple red-versus-white comparison. Check the wine’s description when encountering an unfamiliar traditional term.
