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.
Patagonian Argentine region with dry, cool climate whipped by Andean winds, ~280 ha of vines and growing. Malbec is the signature red (~50% of plantings) with intense blackberry, plum, violet and peppery notes, round tannins and deep fruit. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon with blackcurrant and supple Merlot complement. Fine Pinot Noir with cherry, strawberry and vanilla, acidity driven by southern coolness.
