Louis Jadot Steel Chardonnay is a distinctive expression of the varietal, diverging from the more common oaked Chardonnays. Crafted in Burgundy, France, this wine is a testament to the purity of the Chardonnay grape. The absence of oak aging allows for a spotlight on the crisp, vibrant fruit character that is often masked by heavier toast and vanilla nuances in oaked versions.
The terroir plays a pivotal role here; with Burgundy’s cooler climate and limestone-rich soils contributing to a wine with bright acidity and minerality. These elements frame the green apple and citrus notes that are characteristic of Louis Jadot’s Steel Chardonnay. The steel tank fermentation preserves these fresh flavors and imparts a clean finish to the wine.

This popular wine showcases a diverse flavor profile, featuring notes of apple, pear, citrus, tropical fruits, and stone fruits, making it appealing to a wide range of palates.

Its texture can vary significantly; some Chardonnays are creamy and full-bodied while others are light and crisp. Commonly produced in regions such as Burgundy in France and California in the USA, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish dishes, creamy pasta, lobster, risotto, and soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
