You think these are two different w**es? They’re both Chardonnay. 🍇

Chablis isn’t a grape it’s a place in northern Burgundy, France. And the white w**e made there is Chardonnay.

🥂 Joseph Drouhin Réserve de Vaudon Chablis 2025
Cool, crisp and mineral, with citrus, green apple and a clean, flinty finish. No heavy oak just freshness and elegance.

🥂 Domaine Marcel Couturier Bourgogne Blanc 2023
From southern Burgundy’s Mâconnais region. Riper and silkier, with pear, yellow apple and a soft, generous texture while still staying beautifully fresh.

Same grape. Different place. Completely different personality.

Now tell me: which Chardonnay would you choose?

Did you know Chablis is Chardonnay? 🍇

A customer ordered these two bottles, and they’re both Chardonnay but they come from different parts of Burgundy.

🥂 Joseph Drouhin Chablis comes from northern Burgundy. It’s fermented and aged in stainless steel, giving it a fresh, crisp style with citrus and mineral notes.

🍐 Domaine Marcel Couturier Bourgogne Blanc comes from the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy. It’s aged in older barrels, bringing out riper fruit and a rounder, softer texture, with just a gentle touch of oak.

Same grape. Same broader region. Two very different expressions of Chardonnay.

Which would you choose: the crisp Chablis or the rounder Couturier? Comment CHABLIS or COUTURIER below 👇

Share this with a friend who says they don’t like Chardonnay they might just need to find their style 🥂

Why doesn’t the label clearly tell you the grape? 🇫🇷🍷

French w**e is often labelled by its region or appellation not by the grape variety so choosing a bottle can feel very confusing.

Here’s your simple French w**e cheat sheet:

🥂 Ch*****ne → Chardonnay, Pinot Noir + Pinot Meunier
🍷 Bourgogne → Pinot Noir + Chardonnay
🍇 Côtes du Rhône → Grenache, Syrah + Mourvèdre—the famous GSM blend
🍷 Bordeaux → Cabernet Sauvignon + Merlot
🌿 Loire Valley → Sauvignon Blanc + Chenin Blanc

This is a simplified guide, because every region has more grapes and styles but these are the key names that will help you understand a French w**e list or label.

Save this for the next time you’re choosing French w**e—and share it with the friend who always gets confused at the bottle shop. 🤍

Which glass goes with which w**e? 🍷✨

No complicated rules here — the shape of a glass can help bring out a w**e’s aromas and make each pour feel a little more special.

🥂 Chardonnay — a generous white w**e glass
🍷 Pinot Noir — a wide bowl to let those aromas open up
🤍 Fresh white w**e — a smaller white w**e glass
✨ Ch*****ne — a small white w**e glass
🍯 Dessert w**e — a smaller glass for a little pour
🍷 Bold reds — a large bowl for all those lovely aromas

📌 SAVE this guide for your next dinner.
💌 SHARE it with a w**e-loving friend.
🥂 FOLLOW Alessa Vino for more simple w**e tips.

🥂 Flute or w**e glass for Ch*****ne?

✨ A flute shows off the bubbles and helps preserve the fizz, but its narrow shape gives the aromas less room to open up.

🍾 A coupe looks beautiful, but its wide, shallow bowl lets the bubbles and aromas fade faster.

🍷 I reach for a small w**e glass when I want to smell and savour more of the w**e. Fun fact: coupes and flutes were used alongside each other in the 19th century.

📌 SAVE this for the next time you pour Ch*****ne—so you can remember which glass to reach for.

💌 SHARE this with a friend who loves Ch*****ne or w**e tips. Send it to the person who always chooses the flute and ask them: would you try a w**e glass next time?

THIS IS WHITE W**E. SO WHY IS IT ORANGE? 🍊🍷

And no, there are absolutely no oranges involved!

Orange w**e is made from WHITE grapes, but using a technique similar to red w**emaking. Instead of separating the juice from the grape skins straight away, they’re left together for weeks or even months! This creates its beautiful amber colour, extra texture and a little tannin.

🇮🇹 MEET VEJ BIANCO ANTICO 180
Made by Podere Pradarolo in Emilia-Romagna, in the hills near Parma, Italy. Yes, the region famous for Parmigiano Reggiano!

🍇 THE GRAPE: 100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, a fragrant white grape known for its beautiful floral and citrus aromas.

🍊 THE INCREDIBLE PART: This w**e spends approximately 180 DAYS in contact with its grape skins! That’s what gives it its deep amber colour and remarkable texture.

🌿 WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
Organically grown grapes, biodynamic farming practices, natural fermentation, unfiltered, unfined and no added sulphites. You might notice a little cloudiness or sediment, but the orange colour comes from the grape skins!

🍑 WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
Completely dry, with aromas of apricot, citrus peel, dried flowers, wild herbs and black tea. More texture and a gentle tannic grip than your usual white w**e.

🧀 WHAT TO EAT WITH IT?
Aged Parmigiano Reggiano, mushroom risotto, sage pasta or roast pork. Delicious!

And here’s something fascinating: orange w**e might seem trendy, but this w**emaking technique is thousands of years old!

🍷 SAVE this for the next time you spot orange w**e on a w**e list, and SHARE it with that friend who loves discovering new w**es!

👇 Now tell me in the COMMENTS: Have you tried orange w**e, or would this be your first glass?
