In which European country is the Vaud wine region?

Vaud is one of Switzerland's 26 administrative cantons (regions) and the country's second-largest wine region. It is known for crisp, white Chasselas wines and stunning lakeside landscapes, two qualities which reach their mutual zenith in the grand crus of Dezaley and Calamin. The famous Lavaux vineyard terraces, which rise steeply up above Lake Geneva, are considered of such importance that they are now enjoy protected status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The classic Vaud wine is a Chasselas-based white with elegant aromas of lemon peel, fresh pears, wet stones and a faint hint of white pepper.

The main Vaud vineyard area arches broadly around Lake Geneva from La Cote in the west, via Lavaux in the center to Chablais at the lake's eastern edge. North of the lake are a handful of satellite viticultural areas around Lake Neuchatel and along the banks of the Orbe river. Located in the French-speaking south-west, Vaud is flanked by three other key Swiss wine regions: Geneva, Neuchatel and Valais. Just across the Jura Mountains, which form the canton's western edge (the Swiss border with France) is the French Jura.
