Flemish AOC of Hesbaye (south-east Flanders, Belgium), sandy-limestone soils (Belgium's "Côte d'Or"), cool temperate climate — ~45% of Flemish sparkling production.

Spiced Pinot Gris and full Pinot Blanc among the whites. Fine Pinot Noir as red.
The wine region of Flandre
Northern Belgian vineyard (~60% of national production), sandy and clay-limestone soils, temperate maritime climate comparable to Champagne 30 years ago. Signature Chardonnay as white king: taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche and chalky touch — base for fresh and precise sparklers. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), round Pinot Meunier, vibrant Riesling. PIWI (Solaris, Johanniter) as complements.
The word of the wine: Unbalanced
Said of a wine whose different elements are not perceived in a harmonious and pleasant way. This is not necessarily a defect, it can be a wine that is too young and not yet blended.
