Lively, taut whites with chiselled acidity and an airy palate, with aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and chalky notes. Typically saline finish. Star of Bouzeron AOC (the only single-variety aligoté appellation) and Bourgogne Aligoté AOC. Also used in Crémant de Bourgogne and the iconic kir cocktail (with blackcurrant liqueur). Historic Burgundian variety, a cross of pinot noir × gouais blanc, half-sibling of chardonnay.
Bulgaria's largest wine region, land of identity-driven reds. Signature Mavrud around Plovdiv: a structured, tannic red with notes of blackberry, candied plum, dry herbs, leather and spices, long ageing. Fleshy, deep Rubin (Nebbiolo × Syrah cross), supple, fruity Pamid, dense Melnik 55. Aromatic Red Misket whites (rose, citrus).
