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 on the Saar (Germany) in the greater Mosel region, dominated by the Grosse Lage Altenberg on a vertiginous slope (50-85%) of grey and red ferruginous slate. Riesling is the exclusive white: tense and crystalline with intense notes of citrus, peach, green apple, white flowers and a slate-iodine touch, cutting acidity — from lively Kabinett to ample Spätlese and Auslese, exceptional aging. Legendary Eiswein and late-harvest wines. VDP benchmark.
