White gem of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy) surrounding Pouilly-Fuissé: signature Chardonnay as exclusive white king — pale gold with green tints, fresh and harmonious with notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white peach, apple, hawthorn, honey and a toasted-almond touch, lively balance of richness and freshness, signature minerality. More accessible and fruity than neighbouring Pouilly-Fuissé. AOC (1971), ~750 ha over 6 villages (Davayé, Prissé, Chasselas), limestone and clay, ages 3-6 yrs.
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.
red wines from the region of Saint-Véran go well with generally quite well with dishes of beef, veal or game (deer, venison) such as recipes of kig ar farz breton, rabbit with hunter's sauce or baked duck legs with potatoes.
