Event Description
Chardonnay is native to eastern France and is the grape behind the famous red 1er Cru and Grand Cru wines of the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy. Meursault and Puligny Montrachet for example.
World class Chardonnay wines are also made in cooler wine regions as geographically diverse as California, Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and Australia.
The best Chardonnay wines have a layered complexity to them, often as a result of winemaking techniques like lees ageing and barrel fermentation. They also reflect their specific growing sites well. It's all about balance. Wine drinkers are quite rightly falling back in love with Chardonnay. It is a versatile grape capable of greatness and able to give a lot of pleasure.
Come and find out more about this fascinating grape variety as we taste six delicious, well chosen quality Chardonnay wines from around the world.
Wines on tasting - a great line up of six premium Chardonnay wines from wine regions in France, Australia, South Africa, California, Italy and South America including a 1er Cru white Cote d'Or from Burgundy.
This relaxed evening tasting includes six premium wines, a digital presentation, tasting notes and some cheese.
