Chardonnay makes up a tiny, 1 hectare portion of limestone of the Île des Vergelesses. A Burgundy white meant to be appreciated with a few years of maturity, aromas of pear and ripe pineapple open across an expansive palate scattered with mineraled texture. A lovely balanced wine. This was a year of balance through freshness - A cold winter, followed by a mild spring then a cool and slightly damp summer. A mild September allowed the grapes to achieve an excellent maturity without losing acidity at a rare level of intensity.

Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
