Anyday Chardonnay Case

A cross-regional chardonnay from France and the best of two worlds. Fruit from warmer areas of southern France provides body and weight, with grapes sourced from the foothills of the Pyrenees adding freshness and elegance. Dry, clean and crisp, this would be perfect with roast chicken or quiches.

Round, soft, gently fruity, unoaked chardonnay with a ripe honeydew melon character. A well priced wine from Jean-Marc Aujoux, the suppliers of The Society's White Burgundy. No capsule to save packaging.

Impressive but easy-drinking oaked chardonnay from warm Swartland vineyards in South Africa, light enough to drink on its own but with enough body for the table. Ripe melon and peach meld with a touch of sourdough and spice.

This Ukranian wine comes from the Odesa region and is produced by Bolgrad winery, who are the biggest producer of still wine in the country. The vineyard location benefits from two opposing air masses coming from the fresh water Yalpug lake and the saline Black Sea. Not seeing any oak, this is a fresh and accessible style of chardonnay made from a producer making wine in very challenging circumstances. It blends the chardonnay with a little aligoté and in the 2024 vintage it is bright and energetic and full of classic stone-fruit and citrus notes.

With most of the fruit for this chardonnay coming from the cooler Clarksburg AVA in the Sacramento Delta, just east of San Francisco Bay, this has lovely freshness. Peach, pineapple and mango flavours are well balanced by generous vanilla oak on this great anyday chardonnay.
