The most recognized white wine varietal, Chardonnay originated in the Burgundy region of France, but is now grown nearly everywhere wine is produced. Depending on growing climate or winemaker style or barrel regimen, Chardonnay can taste very different. From rich, tropical, toasty and buttery to fresh, bright, clean and refreshing, there is a style for every palate. Having tasted each wine, we have compiled a selection of Chardonnay to fit every taste and budget. From well-known brands to small production, artisan wines, we have a broad range of Chardonnay available at Fine Wine Cellars in Stowe, Vermont.
