Chardonnay is one of the world's most popular white wine grapes, originally from Burgundy, France, and known for its remarkable versatility across different winemaking styles. It can range from crisp and mineral-driven when unoaked, to rich, buttery, and creamy when aged in oak barrels. It grows well in a wide range of climates, producing everything from the lean, citrusy Chablis style to the full-bodied, tropical fruit-forward wines of California and Australia.
