"Considered one of the ""noble"" white grapes, chardonnay produces medium to full-bodied white wines that can be as unnoticeable as a glass of water or as breathtaking and extraordinary as a filet mignon from your favorite steak house. It has been known, depending on the terroir and the wine maker, to create intense flavors and aromas of apples, pears, tropical fruits, vanilla, and a buttery oakiness that some find irresistible. Chardonnay, like Cabernet Sauvignon, has taken flight in almost all major wine regions around the world. It is now a star in California, of course, Australia, South America, and of course, in its home, Burgundy, France. White wines from Burgundy are always chardonnay and like good California producers, the land and the wine maker can coerce the grape into a magnificent taste of art". |
