Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Evia.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Greek PGI on the island of Euboea (Greece's 2nd largest, facing Athens), Mediterranean climate freshened by Aegean breezes. Savatiano dominates (~80% of plantings): dry and light with citrus, green apple, Mediterranean herbs and a honeyed touch, fresh acidity, surprising ageing potential. Assyrtiko for tension, Malagousia for florals, Athiri in whites. Vradiano is the native red: fruity and spiced, complemented by Agiorgitiko and Cabernet.
