Burgundy wines encompass 84 appellations, each with a distinct identity. Different subregions of Burgundy specialize in unique wine profiles—white, red, and various grape varieties. For instance:
Côte de Beaune, Chablis, and Mâconnais are known for their white wines.
These wines range from dry to fruity, with Chablis standing out for its pronounced minerality.
At Domaine Joliet, we proudly offer our Fixin Premier Cru Clos de la Perrière Blanc, one of the few Premier Crus in white wine from the Côte de Nuits. Maison Joliet complements this with a selection of regional Burgundy whites from Chardonnay and Aligoté, perfect for exploring the diversity of Burgundy’s white wines.

Adaptable to both warm and cool climates, Chardonnay thrives in Burgundy.
Its flavors vary based on the climate :
Cool climates : Notes of citrus.
Warm climates : Hints of exotic fruits.
Chardonnay is renowned for producing dry, elegant white wines in Burgundy, ranging from delicate and refined to rich and full-bodied.
A cross between Gouais Blanc and Pinot Noir, Aligoté prefers warm, dry climates but is less adaptable than Chardonnay.
It is forgiving with soil types, flourishing in limestone, clay, or sandy soils.
Aligoté yields light, fruity white wines with subtle vegetal notes.
Whether you prefer the crisp minerality of a Chardonnay or the refreshing lightness of an Aligoté, white Burgundy wines offer a unique journey through this iconic region.
