Chardonnay: where the money goes
Barrels are the expensive part of Chardonnay. A rich, buttery, oak-aged style costs more to make than a stainless-steel one, so a discounted oaked Chardonnay from Sonoma, Santa Barbara or Burgundy's outer villages is the bottle to grab. Unoaked Chardonnay is the everyday value at any price.
Two Chardonnays, two dinners
Buy the rich, buttery style for roast chicken, cream sauces, lobster and corn; buy the crisp, unoaked style for white fish, salads and shellfish. Serve the oaked wine a little warmer, around 50–55°F, so its aromas are not muted; the unoaked one colder. Both are dry.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if a Chardonnay is oaked?
- Look for vanilla, butter or toast in the flavor notes and a Body score of 4 or 5 on the product page. Unoaked styles list citrus, green apple and mineral notes.
