Belgium's first organized PDO (Wallonia, 2004) in the Meuse basin (Sambre, Ourthe, Amblève, Semois), ~30 ha on clay-limestone soils, cool northern climate. Chardonnay flagship white: lively and straight with green apple, citrus, white flowers and mineral touch, tense thirst-quenching acidity. Full Pinot Gris, floral Auxerrois and aromatic Müller-Thurgau in whites. Airy Pinot Noir in light red.
Resistant hybrids Regent and Johanniter complement.
Rich, round whites with tender mouth and moderate acidity, featuring aromas of ripe yellow fruits, white flowers, subtle honey, fresh almond and brioche notes. Often blended with Pinot Blanc in Alsace (cuvées labelled "Pinot Blanc" often contain a good proportion) and a pillar of Crémant d'Alsace. Also in French and Luxembourgish Moselle, Côtes-de-Toul and Baden. Lorraine grape, a Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc cross, half-sibling of Chardonnay.
