Emblematic great white of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy): signature Chardonnay reigns exclusively in whites — pale to green-gold with emerald glints, round and fleshy with citrus (lemon, grapefruit, pineapple), peach, almond, hazelnut, breadcrumb, brioche, honey and a flinty mineral touch, a richness-freshness balance without excess nervousness. AOC (1936), 758 ha across 4 villages (Vergisson, Solutré, Fuissé, Chaintré) below the eponymous rocks, clays and limestones.
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.
