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.
Moroccan AOG from the Meknès-Fès region at the foot of the Middle Atlas, with rich soils and altitude that tempers the heat.

Fresh gris rosés with red fruits. Flagship labels Sidi Brahim and Ithaque.
