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.
Chilean valley at the foot of the highest summit of the Americas (6,960 m), hot dry climate tempered by Pacific breezes, altitude vineyards up to 1,600 m. Signature Cabernet Sauvignon as red king: powerful with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, cedar, tobacco and peppery touch, firm tannins and exceptional ageing — home of Errazuriz (1870) and great Chileans (Sena, Don Maximiano). Dense Syrah, spiced Carmenere and supple Merlot as complements.
