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.
Andean province of northwest Argentina, vineyards in high-altitude valleys (Tinogasta, Santa Maria up to 3,000 m, among the world's highest), dry windy desert climate. Torrontes reigns in white: brilliantly aromatic with jasmine, rose, citrus, lychee, white peach and honeyed touch — the world apex of Argentina's emblematic grape (Muscat cousin). Supple Cereza, peppery Syrah, fruity Bonarda, mountain Cabernet and Malbec. Sunny floral whites.
