Chardonnay from France is renowned for its versatility and elegance, showcasing flavors of citrus, green apple, and ripe stone fruit, often accompanied by buttery notes and hints of vanilla from oak aging. Key regions like Burgundy produce prestigious styles, including the rich, complex Chablis and the opulent Meursault. Sparkling wines from Champagne also highlight Chardonnay's crisp acidity and finesse, making it a hallmark of French winemaking.
