Burgundy AOC in the Yonne (~175 ha around Auxerre, Upper Jurassic soils, Kimmeridgian limestone): Pinot Noir signature red — ruby cherry robe, aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, wild strawberry, raspberry, sloe, rose and pepper, supple and fresh attack, fruity flesh and silky tannins. Chardonnay in white with notes of acacia, almond, peach, toast and Kimmeridgian saline minerality (citrus, green apple, white flowers), ageing 1-10 years.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
