Understanding Chardonnay:
- Origins and Characteristics: Chardonnay originates from the Burgundy region of France, where it still produces some of the most prestigious wines in the world. It's known for its versatility, displaying flavors ranging from apple and citrus in cooler regions to tropical fruits in warmer areas.
- Winemaking Influence: The winemaking process plays a crucial role in the flavor profile of Chardonnay. Techniques such as malolactic fermentation and oak aging can add creamy textures and buttery, vanilla notes, while steel tank fermentation preserves the grape's crisp, fresh qualities.
- Global Expressions: From the mineral-rich Chablis to the lush, fruity profiles found in California, each wine region brings its own interpretation to Chardonnay, influenced by local climate and terroir.
