Chardonnay Under $20

Chardonnay under $20, by style

Under $20, oaked Chardonnay usually gets its vanilla and toast from partial barrel aging or oak alternatives, which keeps prices down while delivering the rich, round style people love with roast chicken. Unoaked bottles are cleaner and crisper — think green apple and lemon — and are the better choice with fish and salads. Both are dry. The flavor notes on each product page tell you which you are looking at.
