Chardonnay is so popular it's almost become a brand name in itself. But just what is its secret? Why do winemakers the world over want to grow it, and consumers the world over want to drink it? And how can a grape that makes some of the most expensive white wines in the world in Burgundy also be perfect for those cheap evenings of indulgent guzzling in front of the TV?
In 'Chardonnay', you'll find out where the grape comes from and why it tastes like it does; why winemakers in Chablis dread frost; how a few metres can be the difference between good and great in the Côte d’Or; and why Pacific fogs
are the Californian Chardonnay-maker's best friend.
This book is a fun, fascinating guide for anyone who's ever thought they'd like to know more about what's happening in their wine glass but was afraid to ask.
