The Great Terroirs of White Burgundy

Burgundy produces some of the world’s most renowned white wines, primarily from the Chardonnay grape variety. From Chablis to the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, each terroir lends the wine a unique character. The limestone soils often yield precise, mineral-driven wines, while certain areas further south offer rounder, more opulent profiles.

What style do white Burgundies have?

White Burgundies can exhibit a wide variety of profiles depending on the appellation and aging methods. Some develop notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, with plenty of vibrancy and freshness. Other vintages offer more body, with aromas of yellow fruit, fresh butter, hazelnut, or brioche resulting from barrel aging.

What dishes go well with white Burgundy?

Thanks to their balance and freshness, white Burgundies pair easily with a wide variety of dishes. They go very well with fish, seafood, cream-based poultry dishes, and certain Burgundian cheeses. The more crisp and lively vintages are perfect as an aperitif or with seafood, while the richer wines naturally complement more gourmet cuisine.
