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.
Romanian DOP of Dobrogea (southeast) between the Danube, Delta and Macin mountains, limestone soils on basalt substrate, temperate continental and windy climate. Signature Feteasca Neagra as native red king: structured and spiced with black cherry, plum, blackberry, undergrowth, leather and peppery touch, firm tannins and ageing — Romanian black emblem. Floral Feteasca Alba and Aligote in fresh whites, supple Babeasca Neagra in light red. Merlot and Cabernet as complement.
