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.
Greek PGI at the foot of Mount Olympus in Central Macedonia, between mountain and Aegean Sea, climate tempered by sea breezes. Malagouzia is the signature indigenous white: aromatic and ample with stone fruit, citrus, white flowers and tropical hints. Assyrtiko is tense and mineral; Xinomavro and Kolindrino offer structured indigenous reds with dark fruit and dried tomato. Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet complement.
