Wine School: The Many Faces of Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted grape varieties in the world, known for its ability to express a range of styles and flavors depending on where it’s grown and how it’s vinified. In this class, we will sip on four different wines to explore the many faces of Chardonnay and learn how different winemaking techniques and vessels influence its flavor, texture, and overall profile. By understanding these factors, we can better appreciate the diverse expressions of Chardonnay. Whether it's the rich, buttery notes from oak aging or the fresh, zesty flavors from stainless steel fermentation, each approach creates a unique face of Chardonnay that reflects the skill of the winemaker and the characteristics of the region.

We’ll be sipping on:

Domaine Passy Le Clous Petit Chablis, 2022

Crossbarn Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, 2023

Matthiason Napa Valley Chardonnay, 2022

Sean Minor Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, 2021
