Narrative

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: downy, white with rose margin. Young leaves: cobwebby, yellowish-green, bronze on bulges. Leaf: medium, orbicular 035-2-5. Shoot: glabrous, finely ribbed, reddish brown in sun, pinkish nodes; tendrils small, thin. Cane: dull yellowish-brown, nodes slightly darker, bloom covering the whole cane. Cluster: small, 7-10 cm, cylindrical, compact, winged berries round, small, amber yellow at maturity. Chardonnay is the noble variety of the great white burgandies of Montrachet, Meursault, Chablis, Pouilly-Fuisse, and Maconnais blanc, and it is one of the principal varieties of the Champagne region. Has good relative resistance to low winter temperatures. Has some resistance to downy mildew, but is sensitive to powdery mildew and botrytis. [Chardonnay] is often long cane pruned and its production depends on the fertility of the soil and the health of the plant." Per website www.winelovers page.com/wineguest/wgg.html: Chardonnay wine is "possesing [of] a fruity character (e.g. Apple, lemon, citrus) subsequent barrel influenced flavors include 'oak', 'vanilla', and maloactic fermentation imparted 'creamy-buttery' components." Per Winkler (see citation): "When [Chardonnay] grows very vigorously, the crop may be increased by girdling. It should be cane pruned. The clusters are small; round; usually with one seed. The leaves are large, almost entire, with the basal veins often naked to the first branch." Unknown source: "Grows rapidly early in the season and develops long shoots that trail on the ground. Vines should be planted 8 ft. apart in the row. Harvest period early September at Oakville, Napa County. Susceptible to mold spoilage after autumn rains. The vines show marked symptoms and decline rapidly when affected by Pierce's disesase. Quite subject to spring frost injury. Early maturity, and small berry size make the exposed fruit attractive to birds, especially starlings."
