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.
Historic village in the Ahr valley (Rhineland-Palatinate) between Altenahr and Rech, steep-terrace vineyards on slate and greywacke, birthplace of the world's first wine cooperative (1868). Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is the signature red: fine and silky with red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, smoke and a slate-mineral note, melted tannins — a great northern expression. Grosse Lage Mönchberg amphitheatre faces due south.
