Robert Parker's magazine rated wines from the indigenous Swiss grape Chasselas (or Fendant) produced mainly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Stephan Reinhardt, the appointed critic of this important magazine in the world of wine, tasted a hundred of our Chasselas - 20 got 87 points and more. The most rated estate of this tasting is the Domaine Louis Bovard in Cully.

In November 2014, Stephan Reinhardt tasted and noted Pinot Noir and Chasselas, the two emblematic vines of Switzerland. For the Chasselas or Fendant, Stephan Reinhardt blindly tasted 95 different wines and retained more than 40. For the vast majority of wines, the vintage was 2013. But Stephan Reinhardt also discovered the immense potential of aging Chasselas / Fendant. He rated vintages such as 1992, 2000, 2003 and 2005 of the domain Bovard. The tasting notes clearly demonstrate the aging quality of this indigenous grape variety. Stephan Reinhardt also wrote about the Louis Bovard Estate: "I also visited Monsieur Louis-Philippe Bovard and his exceptional estate. He is the best ambassador of Lavaux that I can recommend "

Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate is one of the most influential wine critics in the world. Stephan Reinhardt is responsible for Switzerland in RObert Parker's team and he has tasted Pinot Noirs and Chasselas produced in all wine regions of Switzerland, but off course the list is non exhaustive.
