Taut, structured whites with cutting acidity and a mineral mouth, featuring aromas of apple, quince, citrus, honey, smoke and chalk notes. Made as ambitious dry wines (Tokaji száraz, Somló), off-dry and especially sumptuous botrytised sweet wines: Tokaji Aszú (legendary, classified by puttonyos) and Tokaji Eszencia. Highly susceptible to noble rot. The absolute star of Tokaj in Hungary, also in Slovakia, Slovenia (Šipon) and Austria. Native Hungarian grape.

The wine region of Burgundy

Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.

The word of the wine: Maceration

Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
