Discreet Côte de Beaune village in the valley between Aloxe-Corton and Savigny: Pinot Noir reigns in red — deep ruby with bluish glints, signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, violet evolving to spice, undergrowth and leather, firm muscular palate with integrated tannins. Refined Chardonnay rules the whites (western slope of Corton): white flowers, honey, amber and an austere stony mineral signature. AOC (1936), ~150 ha evenly split, clay-limestone at 300 m.
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.
