More informations about the region of Burgundy
Burgundy's second historic white grape, long unloved then rehabilitated. Lively, taut dry whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and a saline touch, vivid acidity and a crisp finish — the traditional base of Kir but increasingly serious single-parcel cuvées too. Direct, thirst-quenching style, served chilled with oysters, snails and goat's cheeses. ~1,700 ha, mainly in the Hautes-Côtes and Bouzeron (its dedicated cru).
