grappes chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most famous and widely cultivated grape varieties. Appreciated for its diversity and ability to adapt to different climates, it is distinguished by the aromatic richness and finesse for which it is renowned.

The origins and history of Chardonnay

Chardonnay has its origins in Burgundy, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It emerged from a natural cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, two grape varieties that have given it both structure and the ability to adapt to different soils and climates. This grape variety took off worldwide in the 1980s, driven by growing demand for complex, refined white wines. Wines made from Chardonnay, which originates in the Languedoc region, reveal mineral aromas.
