Tasting Chardonnay

The Chardonnay grape will grow in various climates and convert into wine easily. Winemakers can create a range of flavors and bodies with these grapes. The taste of the wine will differ depending on the climate where the grape is grown and the process for vinification.

The usual markers of Chardonnay include the following:

  • Dry
  • Medium-full body
  • Moderate acidity
  • Moderate alcohol by volume
  • Flavors can include apple, lemon, papaya, pineapple, and even vanilla

The Popularity of Chardonnay

Choosing a Chardonnay

Categories of Chardonnay can be divided based on region and style of winemaking. Old World and New World styles can be found in both areas.

  • Chardonnay from Cool Climates – marked by higher acidity, citrus flavor, a light body, and a lower ABV.
  • Chardonnay from Warm Climates – marked by less acidity, ripe fruit flavors, full-body, and higher ABV.

Unoaked vs. oaked is a term often heard when discussing Chardonnay wines. Suppose a winemaker wants a lighter body with a crisp flavor. In that case, he or she chooses a stainless-steel container for storage, but if the goal is an oaky, textured flavor with a fuller body, fermentation and storage will take place within oak containers.

Serving Chardonnay

Chardonnay should be chilled before serving, like all other white wines. The temperature range should be between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm Chardonnay will make the flavors less distinct, and colder temperatures will make the flavors less potent.

To achieve the best temperature, either refrigerate the Chardonnay for two hours before serving, or you can place it in an ice bath for 30 or 40 minutes.

Meal Planning for Chardonnay

Planning a meal to pair with Chardonnay is simple because of the versatility of the wine.

Choose an unoaked Chardonnay for an aperitif before dinner when serving cheese, shellfish, or fish. A Chardonnay with a medium body pairs better with white meat like chicken, and a rich-bodied Chardonnay compliments cream sauces and high-fat meats.
