Chardonnay: a grape name that has long been considered a true hallmark. It's the most widely cultivated white grape in the world, yet it finds its true home in Burgundy. It has the unique ability to consistently elevate itself and the complex soil it thrives on. It's a grape that can "read" the land and represent it in the glass. Its aromatic profile is broad and complex, with notes of peach, apple, and melon, lemon and grapefruit zest, lychee and pineapple, acacia and broom; butter and nut characteristics are equally representative of the variety, particularly in characteristic locations. However, it...

All wine tastings revolve around, and perhaps even begin with, the sense of smell. Learning to distinguish various aromas is the first step into the world of wine appreciation.
