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.
Tunisian AOC 30 km south of Tunis, alluvial and gravelly soils. Carignan as the flagship red: full-bodied and sun-drenched, intense ripe cherry, plum, garrigue, spice and balsamic-Mediterranean notes, round tannins. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon as structured improver varieties. Cinsault and Grenache for fresh, expressive rosés with red fruits.
