Chardonnay
Best-known as the white grape of Burgundy and cornerstone of Champagne, Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine variety and also one of the most widely planted. Made in a variety of styles, Chardonnay wines can show fruit notes that run from citrusy and mineral to exotic and toasty. Chardonnay as a grape is relatively neutral and it is not considered an aromatic variety. Indeed, it is often dubbed "the winemaker's grape", for it is in the winery that many of its defining characters are amplified or reduced.
