Perched appellation in the heights of the Côte de Beaune (>300 m): Chardonnay signature as king white — golden robe with green hints and signature mineral profile with notes of white flowers (acacia, hawthorn, lime), citrus and a flint touch, lively palate becoming unctuous with age. Pinot Noir as fresh elegant red (black cherry, redcurrant, raspberry, smoked spices, fine tannins). AOC (1947), ~110 ha, marl-limestone slopes, fresh semi-continental climate.
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.
