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.
Central Israel between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, high-altitude vineyards (up to 1,000 m) in the Judean Hills, terra rossa over limestone and tufa, warm days and cool nights. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are the signature reds: elegant and structured with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, Mediterranean garrigue and a mineral-calcareous hint, balanced tannins. Taut mineral Chardonnay, lively Sauvignon and ample Sémillon as refined whites. Emerging Pinot Noir.
