CHASSELAS (White)

Budding: Early (beginning of April). Sensitive to springtime frosts.

Ripeness: 1st stage. Used as a reference for other varieties.

Vigor: Medium. Short pruning recommended for quality grapes.

Production: Average (between 1 to 2 kilograms per vine-stock).

Medium cylindrical bunches of grapes. Straggly clusters.
