"Robust yellow, with a strong bead and with good volume on the palate; on the nose, very fresh and clean, at first a bit restrained, very youthful and fresh, then come notes of biscuit and mocha; very complex on the palate, showing a fine sweetness and finesse while endowed with impressive length . . . delicate touches of hibiscus in the finish. Impressive champagne."

The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
A key Champagne grape lending fruitiness, roundness and approachability to blends alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
