Chardonnay
[shar-dun-NAY]
Chardonnay is the king of white wines, for it makes consistently excellent, rich, and complex whites. This is an amazing, versatile grape that grows well in a variety of locations throughout the world.
In Burgundy, it is used for all of that appellations exquisite whites, such as Montrachet, Meursault, Pouilly-Fuisse, and true Chablis; in Champagne, it is the sole player in Blanc de Blancs Champagnes and an integral part of nearly all of Champagne's sparkling wines. Among the many other countries that have caught Chardonnay fever, Australia and the United States have been the most consistent in fashioning top notch offerings.
When well made, Chardonnay offers bold, ripe, rich and intense fruit flavors of apple, fig, melon, pear, pineapple, lemon and grapefruit, along with spice, honey, butter, butterscotch and hazelnut flavors. No other white table wine benefits as much from oak aging or barrel fermentation.
