Chasselas Dore

White wine grape · reported 2005–2006

Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services

Chasselas Doré is an ancient grape grown across Switzerland and eastern France for both table eating and light, neutral white wine — Foundation Plant Services lists it for both uses. California's CDFA reports mention it in only two years, 2005 and 2006, across two crush districts, with volumes never exceeding about 36.5 tons crushed in the peak year and just 1.2 tons in the year with reported crush activity. No bearing acreage was ever recorded. Its California footprint is essentially a brief, two-year notation rather than any lasting commercial planting.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Chasselas Dore, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
