Buttery Chardonnays

[vitis]

For big, buttery, oaky Chardonnay try Meridian, Estancia, Lockwood, or Edna Valley.
Australia also is great for this style, as Van and Jason suggested. Try Lindemans Bin 65 or Black Opal. The compound which produces the buttery consistency is known as diaceteal sp?, it is a bi-product of malolactic.
