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.
County of south-west England along a 20 km coastal strip between Lyme Regis and Torquay, temperate oceanic climate warmed by the Gulf Stream.

Signature Bacchus in still whites (Sauvignon-like, elderflower, citrus, lively). Madeleine Angevine, Seyval Blanc and Solaris for hybrid whites.
