Chardonnay, once synonymous with sweet Australian styles, has evolved; today’s drinkers lean toward crisper wines like Chablis, illustrating a notable shift in preferences.
Chardonnay doesn’t have to be oaky and sweet—Chablis, made from 100% chardonnay, offers a refreshing alternative that’s often overlooked by modern palates.
Essex is emerging as a new chardonnay hotspot, with recent investments like California's Jackson Family Wines cultivating high-quality varieties in the region.
People are moving away from the classic chardonnays of old, which were richer and sweeter, towards more vibrant and fresh options like New Zealand sauvignon blanc.
