The white grape variety Chardonnay is one of the most widely planted in the world. The beauty of this grape is its versatility, resulting in a range of wine styles from the unoaked, flinty acidity of Chablis, through the more full-bodied, elegant wines of other areas of Burgundy to the fruity, tropical flavours produced in the New World. Don’t be put off by the over-oaked styles of recent years. A well crafted Chardonnay wine is one of the finest you can drink.
