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.
Moldovan microzone in the far south of the country in Gagauzia near Vulcanești, tertiary red soils (terra rossa) rich in trace elements, climate tempered by the Danube and the Black Sea, millennial tradition. Signature Cabernet Sauvignon red: round and full-bodied with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a spiced earthy note, firm tannins — half the output alongside supple Merlot. Dense Saperavi and spicy Fetească Neagră as complement. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay as whites.
