When it comes to Chardonnay, France (White Burgundy) and California lead the way, though with very different styles. The Chardonnay brands from Burgundy in France tend to be steely and mineral-inflected, while chardonnay brands from California rich, buttery, and often aged in oak (which adds its flavor to the wine). Both styles are immensely popular, and part of the reason that Chardonnay is the most popular white wine in the world.
Because Chardonnay takes so well to many climates, it's grown around the world, with other stellar examples hailing from Chile, Australia, Argentina, and South Africa. It pairs best with seafood such as lobster and many white meats such as pork and poultry.

SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2023 Impressive for the generous, plump flavors and the restraint and elegance of the candied ginger peel, briny preserved lemon, peppery white flower and buttery peach pastry flavors on a plush frame. Reveals a juicy thread of acidity. Drink now. 1,638 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)RP92+92–94 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Mar 2023 Tasted as a tank sample prior to bottling, the barrel-fermented 2021 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard displays a full-bodied, rich, custardy mouthfeel that easily carries the bold flavors of pineapple, white peach and citrus. It’s a blend of several blocks and sees approximately 60% new French oak. (Joe Czerwinski)
VN9696 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2023 The 2021 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is a model of precision and class. Pure and crystalline, the 2021 is superb. I would give it a few years to settle down, but all the elements are in place. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white flowers, sage and crushed rocks abound in this striking, riveting Chardonnay. The 2021 is just pristine. This is what Trout Gulch Chardonnay is all about. (Antonio Galloni)
WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023 This full-bodied and beautifully balanced wine is powered by energized fruit acidity, giving it a lively mouthfeel, vivid green apple and lemon zest flavors and a snappy finish, while subtle oak notes remain secondary. Fermented in oak barrels and stainless barrels, and matured without maloactic conversion, the wine is super refreshing, clean and mouth-watering and should only get more complex and smooth with time. Best from 2024–2031. (Jim Gordon)RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Mar 2023 Always an impressive bottling, the 2021 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch was barrel fermented in a 75% new French oak and 25% stainless steel. Boasting fabulous aromas of lemon curd, apple, pear and pencil shavings, this non-malolactic Chardonnay is full-bodied, round and generous on the palate, then crisp and refreshing on the finish. If it’s not as complex or rich as the very best Chardonnays California has to offer, it’s not that far behind, and the pricing and availability (6000 cases produced) remain reasonable for a wine of this quality. (Joe Czerwinski)
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2023 Rich, with marzipan, cream soda and buttery pastry notes to complement marmalade and apricot preserves. Packs generous nutmeg-based spice flavors, with sleek acidity keeping all the elements in focus and balancing the candied accents. Drink now. 200,000 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023 A toasty, spicy aroma leads to ripe apple, pear and nutmeg flavors in this friendly, full-bodied wine. It offers a mouth-filling richness, persistent fruit and baking-spice flavors and a lingering finish. (Jim Gordon)
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Mar 2023 Cakebread’s 2020 Chardonnay Reserve was entirely barrel fermented, with aging taking place in a mix of French oak (33% new), concrete and larger, neutral oak. It features gentle pineapple, lime and custardy notes on the nose, while the palate is medium-bodied, plump and appealing. A tasty, lip-smacking Chardonnay, if only this had more intensity of flavor and length on the finish… (Joe Czerwinski)
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2021 Crisp and fruity, with savory notes to the green apple and ruby grapefruit flavors. Snap pea accents and minty overtones on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2023. 9,117 cases made.
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2022 This offers notes of lemon sherbet, green apple, fresh grated ginger and grapefruit zest on a sleek and mouthwatering frame. Drink now. 45,000 cases made.
