What is Chardonnay?
Chardonnay is a white grape variety originating in Burgundy, now grown in virtually every wine region worldwide. It's a versatile grape that easily adapts to climate and winemaking methods. As a result, Chardonnay can be both taut and minerally, as well as full and creamy.
Origin and vineyards
Chardonnay's classic origins lie in Burgundy, with famous appellations like Chablis, Meursault, and Puligny-Montrachet. Outside of France, the grape is widely grown in California, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and Italy, among other countries. In cooler climates like Chablis or Limoux, Chardonnay offers crisp acidity and subtle citrus aromas, while warmer regions like Napa Valley or Stellenbosch deliver ripe tropical fruit notes and a fuller mouthfeel.
Grape and style
Chardonnay offers a variety of styles, depending on the winemaking process. Non-oaked, the wine is often light in color with a pale lemon-yellow sheen and fresh aromas of apple, pear, and citrus.
When aged in oak (oaked), the wine develops a deeper golden color due to oxidation and contact with the wood. Creamy notes of vanilla, butter, and toast also emerge. This versatility makes Chardonnay one of the most recognizable white wines in the world.
Storage and serving
Non-oaked Chardonnay is typically at its best within three to five years of harvest, while oak-aged varieties can age considerably longer. Top wines from Burgundy or Napa Valley often have a aging potential of ten years or more. Serve Chardonnay chilled, around 10 to 12 degrees Celsius (50 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit) for fresh styles and 12 to 14 degrees Celsius (56 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit) for oak-aged wines.
