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.
Sunny plateau of eastern Romania between the Danube and the Black Sea, the country's most promising region, temperate-continental climate, well-drained limestone soils. Fetească Albă is the flagship native white: floral and taut with notes of acacia, citrus, green apple, honey and a mineral touch, vivid acidity — Romania's white emblem. Structured Fetească Neagră in red (black cherry, plum, spices). Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Muscat Ottonel.
