The 30 Best Chardonnays for 2025

Chardonnay is the most popular white wine on Earth. The grape is a near-blank canvas, capable of being produced in a gamut of different styles. Chardonnay grapes are somewhat resilient, low-maintenance in the vineyard, and easy to grow in almost any climate. Travel to any wine region in the world, and you will find at least one vineyard growing Chardonnay.

Chardonnay In 60 Seconds

• Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape variety that is native to Burgundy, France.
• Chardonnay can be produced in a youthful, fruity style that’s ready to be drunk soon after bottling. Complex, barrel-fermented bottles are capable of aging for years.
• Chardonnay wines are medium- to full-bodied and pair with a range of simple or complex foods.
• In France, Chardonnay is labeled by the region in which it is grown, like Chablis. It is also a key variety in Champagne.

The Origins of Chardonnay

Winemakers in Burgundy realized early on that Chardonnay has a relatively neutral profile and a unique knack for expressing the essence of the land. This concept, known as terroir, allows for qualities derived from things like climate, soil, and even the local foliage to be expressed in the glass. White Burgundy enjoys worldwide acclaim for its elegance; in Champagne, the grape provides finesse and balance and is the star variety in the region’s blanc de blancs wines.

No two places that grow Chardonnay produce the same expression, yet every region finds it is relatively easy to grow. This discovery has helped the grape spread across the world.

What Chardonnay Tastes Like From Different Climates

Climate can have a massive impact on Chardonnay’s final profile. Chardonnay from cooler regions such as Burgundy, coastal Chile, New Zealand, and Oregon exude lighter notes of quince, lemon and yellow apple. Warmer climates like California, South Africa, and South Australia produce Chardonnay that expresses ripe, tropical flavors of pineapple, apricot, and star fruit.

The Various Styles of Chardonnay

VinePair’s list of 30 Best Chardonnays shows that top-tier Chardonnay can come from all corners of the globe. But they can also be quite contrasting in style. This is partially due to winemaking choices, like letting the wine go through malolactic fermentation.

Malolactic fermentation (or MLF) is the process in which malic acid gets converted into a softer lactic acid. This transformation imparts the buttery notes that are associated with some styles of Chardonnay. Wines that do not go through MLF have more dominant green fruit flavors like apple or pear.

Much like discovering how adaptive the grape is to different regions of the world, winemakers also found Chardonnay is incredibly responsive to oak aging. Oak plays a huge determining factor in the wine’s final profile. Winemakers who opt for a crisp and fresh wine use stainless steel to ferment and store their wines, limiting the amount of oxygen contact. Winemakers seeking a fuller-bodied style use oak aging to impart flavors like vanilla, coconut, and baking spice. The levels in which they can choose to do so are nearly endless. French oak barrels impart more subtle flavors than those made of American oak. Balance can be further manipulated by choosing to use second- or third-use oak barrels, and selecting to age some of the wine in oak and the rest in stainless steel. From 5 percent to its entirety, the combinations are near-infinite.

Unoaked expressions took somewhat of a back seat through the 1980s and 1990s, while a fuller “butter bomb”-style California Chardonnay flourished. Highly expressive flavors of toast, spice, clove, and vanilla were all the rage. But with every trend comes its downturn and consumers eventually turned their noses up to the over-oaked style.

Today, the practice of over-oaking Chardonnay has pretty much stopped not only in California but also worldwide. Most winemakers use only a portion of new barrels for fermentation and aging. The result is a more balanced wine, reminiscent of a Burgundian-style Chardonnay, with just a kiss of vanilla and complexity. This style saves money for producers, limiting the need for new, expensive barrels every vintage — so it’s win-win all round.

How to Pair Chardonnay With Food

Due to its wide array of styles and profiles, Chardonnay can pair with almost every kind of food. Lighter, unoaked Chardonnay, like Chablis, is a great match for fresh cheese or delicate seafood. Medium-bodied expressions hold their own with poultry, pork tenderloin, or aged cheeses. Higher-alcohol or full-bodied Chardonnay pairs well with entrées with a rich cream sauce or even grilled meats.

The 30 Best Chardonnays for 2025

Chardonnay has come a long way from its home in France’s Burgundy. This versatile grape is known for its ability to thrive in a range of environments, from the ocean-side ridges of the Sonoma Coast to the sun-soaked hillsides of Napa Valley. In the modern wine era we have seen a spectrum of different styles emerge and gain popularity over the years, ranging from rich, oak-aged expressions to the lean and mineral stainless- steel-aged bottlings. Today, wine drinkers tend to lean toward the lighter side of the variety, but great examples exist in each style.

This list shows the full range of delicious Chardonnays being made in the U.S. — as well as some standouts from France and Italy. While California has always dominated the category of American Chardonnay, we were vividly impressed by the selections from Oregon in this year’s tasting. While the Willamette Valley was long known for Pinot Noir, more winemakers are embracing Chardonnay, and the state has developed its own unique expression of the grape.

Wines on this list range from 12 to 14 percent ABV and from unoaked to aged in new French Oak. We tasted it all and compiled the absolute best Chardonnays to drink in 2025.

Why You Should Trust VinePair

Every year, VinePair conducts dozens of tastings for our “Buy This Booze” product roundups, highlighting the best bottles across the world’s most popular wine and spirits categories.

Within this scope, VinePair’s tasting and editorial staff samples thousands of bottles every year. This ensures we have a close eye on what’s new and exciting. Crucially, it also provides us with the context needed to distinguish the simply good from the truly great, whether from a quality or value-for-money perspective — or both.

Ultimately, our mission is to offer a clear, reliable source of information for drinkers, providing an overview applicable to day-to-day buying and drinking. Learn more about VinePair’s tastings and reviews department here.

How We Taste

We believe in tasting all products as our readers typically would: with full knowledge of the producer and — importantly — price. Our tastings are therefore not conducted blind.

VinePair’s tasting panel evaluates every wine on its aromas, flavors, structure, balance, and quality. We also consider whether or not the wine showed typicity for its specific grape or region.

How We Compiled This List

In order to provide our readers with the most comprehensive and thoroughly tested list of the best Chardonnays to buy, VinePair invited producers, distributors, and PR firms working on their behalf to send samples for consideration. These bottles were submitted free of charge — producers didn’t pay to submit nor did VinePair pay for the products. All were requested with the clear understanding that submission does not guarantee inclusion in the final list.

For the Chardonnay roundup, we assigned a score to each product on a 100-point scale based on the quality and intensity of its aromas, flavors, texture, and finish. Then we reviewed all scores and compiled an editorially driven list that meets our criteria of best Chardonnays to buy right now. Each wine was assessed on quality, price, and availability to compile the final list.

Best Splurge Chardonnay

Linden Vineyards Hardscrabble Chardonnay 2020

Many cite America’s third President — and avid wine enthusiast — Thomas Jefferson as a pioneer of viticulture in Virginia, but when it comes to modern winemaking in the Commonwealth, Linden Vineyards was a true trailblazer. Winemaker Jim Law founded Linden Vineyards in 1983 when he purchased 76 acres of land on an abandoned apple orchard. He was determined to make great wine in this region, planting his first vines on eight acres with particularly high elevations and east-facing slopes. And to this day, Law makes some of the best wine in America.

This bottling is a testament to life in Appalachia, often referred to as hardscrabble country. The Hardscrabble vineyard sits atop of the Blue Ridge at an elevation of about 1,400 feet with well-drained soils. The vineyard is primarily planted to old vines that date back to the 1980s.

The nose is a dose of honeysuckle with a hint of beeswax and river rock minerality. In the distance your senses can pick up the comforting aroma of cooking herbs. The mouthfeel is a study in balance, offering a slight grip, focused round fruit, and a perfect medium depth. The acidity seamlessly lifts the wine without overpowering it. It’s definitive and stunningly delicious. This wine will only get better with age.

FAQs

What is Chardonnay?

Chardonnay is a grape variety originally from France’s Burgundy region, where it’s often labeled under Bourgogne Blanc or Chablis. Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular wine grapes, and is now planted in different regions across the globe, including California’s Napa Valley and Sonoma, Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Australia’s Margaret River, and more.

Is Chardonnay white wine?

Yes, Chardonnay is a white grape variety that produces a white wine. It’s one of the most popular white wines in the world, along with Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc.

Is Chardonnay dry or sweet?

Generally speaking, Chardonnay is a dry white wine. Some expressions might be more fruit-forward than others, but they don’t typically contain any residual sugar. In some rare instances, Chardonnay can be used to make sweet dessert wines. Ultimately, it depends on the bottle.

Is Chardonnay always oaked?

Chardonnay is often referred to as “the winemaker’s grape” since it is amenable to many different styles. Therefore, Chardonnay can be made with or without oak; it just depends on which expression the producer is going for. Since the use of oak can be quite divisive, many wineries now state on the bottle or on their website how the wine is aged, whether in stainless steel tanks, older, neutral barrels, or new oak barrels that impart a heavier oak flavor.

Should you refrigerate Chardonnay after opening?

Yes! Once you’ve opened a bottle of Chardonnay (or any wine, really), you should seal it as tightly as possible and store it in the refrigerator to keep it as fresh as possible. In the fridge, an opened bottle of Chardonnay will be good for about one week.

What are good regions for Chardonnay?

Chardonnay is the fifth most planted wine grape around the world, but its style varies based on where it’s grown. Some of the world’s most revered Chardonnays come from the Burgundy region in France, but regions in Italy, the United States, Chile, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand also produce good Chardonnay as well. (Check out this guide on the World’s Best Places for Growing Chardonnay.)
