Chardonnay Wine Recommendations

Chardonnay wine is America's number one selling white wine but how do you know which Chardonnay wine is the best? A bottle of Chardonnay wine can easily range anywhere from $10 to $50. Listed below are some of the best Chardonnay Wine Recommendations on the market for both price and taste.

Cullen's 2002 Chardonnay wine is from Australia and will set you back approximately $45 a bottle. This Chardonnay wine recommendation is a pale to medium, straw yellow colour and contains aromas of ripe melon, pineapple and grapefruit with a subtle overlay of smoky oak. This Chardonnay wine leaves a lingering, savoury mineral-tinged finish and is one of the finest of Cullen's Chardonnays wines. This may be an expensive Chardonnay wine recommendation but it is also a wine which should please just about anyone who likes white wine.

Obviously 2002 was a good year for Chardonnay wines. Because, Louis Jadot's 2002 Chardonnay wine (which amazingly, is priced at only about $10 a bottle) is an excellent and cheap Chardonnay wine recommendation. Louis Jadot is a French Chardonnay wine which has a full apple flavor and is well suited for nearly any type of poultry or seafood. Of the Chardonnay wine recommendations listed here, this is probably the best Chardonnay wine to have with chesse. It goes especially well with Swiss cheese (like Gruvere cheese), cheddar cheese and even goat cheese. (Check Wine and Cheese Pairing for more info.) This Chardonnay wine recommendation is also an excellent value for the money.

Mirassou's 1999 Chardonnay wine is another one of our Chardonnay wine recommendations. This Chardonnay is priced at about $15 a bottle and is a dry, medium-bodied white wine. It has been deemed to be an elegant and stylish Chardonnay wine with intricate flavors which are reminiscent of green apples, bananas and pineapples. Of course, many other Chardonnay wines have these fruity flavors as well. But the main reason this is a recommended Chardonnay wine is because that it also has that perfect combination of a subtle oak flavor and light vanilla undertone which is present in almost all of the in the world-class Chardonnay wines. This is an inexpensive Chardonnay wine recommendation which has the flavor of a more expensive Chardonnay wine.

Another excellent and inexpensive Chardonnay wine recommendation is the Aquinas Napa Valley Chardonnay (2003) from California. If you like to make wine recommendations then this wine may just become one of your favorite Chardonnay wine recommendations. Priced at just $12 a bottle, this Chardonnay wine truly is an excellent value. It has creamy flavors of peach, melon and pineapple with faint caramel and vanilla notes. This Chardonnay wine is a medium bodied wine with a soft finish. It will make an excellent accompaniment to almost any poultry or seafood meal. (Check Wine and Food Pairing for more info.)

Chardonnay wine recommendations are no different from Reisling wine recommendations or any other type of wine recommendation. In that, it can be difficult to give out good wine recommendations because everyone has different taste palettes. Which is why we have given you four great Chardonnay wine recommendations instead of just one (an expensive Chardonnay wine recommendation and three inexpensive Chardonnay wine recommendations) . Hopefully, one of these Chardonnay wine recommendations will be exactly what you are looking for.
