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.

Burgundy, the famous wine region of France, is divided into five major wine growing areas: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais. Each of these sub-regions adds a distinct touch to the mosaic of Burgundian wines, depending on the soil types and grape varieties grown. The two predominant varieties of the region are: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir, grown mainly in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, gives the wines remarkable elegance and depth, with red fruit notes and delicate spicy aromas. Chardonnay, spread in the Côte de Beaune and Mâconnais, produces complex and exquisite white wines characterized by aromas of white fruit, nuts and have a well-balanced acidity.
