| Story | In 1494, George de Challant offered Charles VIII, King of France, the Muscat Passé de Chambave. As many testimonies attest, this nectar has been produced since ancient times. The best bunches of white Muscat grapes are left to dry in special ventilated rooms; once the drying process is complete, the grapes are vinified traditionally: the resulting wine is left to rest until Christmas the year after the harvest. |
