Chardonnay’s home is Burgundy, where it produces the world’s finest dry white wines. Because it doesn’t have a dominant flavour of its own, it is the perfect grape to express the different characteristics of Burgundy’s precisely mapped vineyards. Its versatility is also its greatest strength around the rest of the world. Wherever it is grown, it produces a wine with a unique stamp and provides the perfect canvas for winemakers to work with. From the steely dry wines of Chablis to the most heavily oaked California Chardonnay, this grape variety is adaptable, easy to grow and equally capable of greatness or mediocrity. Chardonnay really is what you make of it.
