Chardonnay is the world’s most famous white wine grape and is behind the finest French white in Burgundy and Chablis. Chardonnay is one of the principal grapes in the Champagne blend. Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape. Common aromas range from butter and toast through to tropical notes of banana, pineapple and guava. It is also often described as having mineral properties, such as crushed seashells or metal. Its flavor profiles are equally diverse and include grilled nuts, creamy apples, peach, marzipan, mango and even wet stones.
