Most Chardonnays are too flabby to stand up to the strength of fatty salmon, and those Chardonnays that are not flabby often either are too lean or too tropical fruit-like for the taste of salmon. Don't know about Chardonnay and salmon ever being considered a classic pairing, but that is the last wine I think of when I think salmon--Riesling for smoked salmon; Pinot Noir for grilled salmon; Sauvignon Blanc for poached salmon. Come to think of it, Chardonnay is almost the last wine I ever think of these days.
