Chardonnay
Top countries producing this wine: |
Chardonnay is the most popular white wine in the world, and also one of the most diverse. Depending on the soil, climate and winemaking traditions of the region in which it is grown, its style can range from steely and crisp to creamy and toasty. In the much-acclaimed Burgundy region of France, Chardonnay exhibits its most noble manifestation. Winemakers around the world try to emulate the prestigious bottling from appellations such as Montrachet, Corton Charlemagne, Meursault and Chablis, praised for their longevity and complex taste. Chardonnay is also indispensable to the superlative sparkling wines of Champagne. In fact, almost every major wine region from the Finger Lakes to New Zealand has embraced this stellar grape. The characteristic flavors of Chardonnay include apples, pears, lemon and pineapple. Medium-full in body, with zesty acidity and the potential for excellent balance of fruit, Chardonnay is a delightful food partner as well as a wine to sip on its own. |
Cabernet/Red Bordeaux
Top countries producing this wine: |
Commonly known as the king of red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon produces the most sought-after wines in the world, from the top châteaux of Bordeaux (principally the Médoc and Graves appellations) to the resplendent reds of California’s Napa Valley. Arguably the most successful red grape in the history of winemaking, its popularity continues to boom, with new plantings in top quality regions such as Argentina, Chile and South Africa. Even in Italy, where the focus is on traditional Italian varieties, Cabernet-based “Super Tuscan” blends such as Sassicaia are ranked among their most highly prized wines. The appealing flavor, structure, longevity, and overall complexity of Cabernet make it a superior wine grape. The body is often full and richly layered, with an array of tastes such as black currant, black raspberry, eucalyptus and anise. Tobacco and cedar box spice are characteristic of the silky maturity of older vintages. |
