The Chardonnay in the French vineyards

There's one grape so well-known that it's incredibly popular no matter where you go in the world. No matter which wine region you're in, Chardonnay holds a prominent place in the vineyards. The grape originates in Burgundy, an iconic wine region located much further north. Since then, Chardonnay has spread its wings and established a presence all over the world. It's no wonder Bourdic has planted a large acreage of this international all-rounder. They're located in the hilly landscape surrounding the city of Nîmes, in one of the best locations Bourdic has at its disposal.
