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.
Marche DOC in central-east around Jesi (Riserva DOCG since 2010), one of Italy's great whites. Signature native Verdicchio (min. 85%): dry structured whites with signature notes of bitter almond, citrus, green apple, fennel, white flowers and a saline mineral touch, taut palate and fine aging potential (10+ years). Style both fresh young and complex at maturity.
