Northern gateway to the Côte Chalonnaise and cradle of Crémant de Bourgogne: signature Chardonnay as king white (~65%) — pale gold with green hints, fresh and chiseled with notes of citrus, white flowers, hazelnut, light honey and a mineral touch, taut finish. Pinot Noir with supple red fruits (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) in indulgent reds. Emblematic Crémant de Bourgogne. AOC (1939), ~360 ha on Rully and Chagny, 23 Premiers Crus, marl-limestone slopes, semi-continental.
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.
