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.
Confidential wine island of eastern Canada (Gulf of St. Lawrence), cool maritime climate with short summers and harsh winters, typical red sandy soils. Chardonnay and Gamay Noir as signatures in a lively, mineral white with notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers and a refined saline-iodine touch, and a supple red with red fruits and a spiced touch. L'Acadie Blanc as complement.
