Chardonnay vs Sauvignon Blanc: What's the Difference?

Thanks for sharing this great wine nindustry information ! Super Big Like 💖👍🌺✅ 👍1

WOW! I learned so much from this single video! thank you for sharing your knowledge of wines with us!

A true lecture on these two white grape wine varieties.Every word hits the target.
Thank you Julien!

I just can't do Sauv. As soon as I smell it I start getting a headache.

So wonderful to see your video! Not sure why they are not showing up. Love this discussion. When someone asks me what is my favorite wine, I answer wine. I totally get why you don’t want to rank. Your advice on Bordeaux was awesome…it was such a fun trip. Now I am thinking Burgundy. This was perfect. I have just moved to Sonoma County. So awesome to be in the heart of California wine country. Looking forward to more videos like this!

I can only drink chardonnay if it has bubbles in it.

background music is sooooo annoying 😢

very informative and clear

ah Julian, nicely explained why I adore NZ Sav Blanc and not so much Chardonnay. What I also look for is hints of gooseberry in my wine apart from all the ones you mentioned.

I was originally a Reisling drinker. First time i tried a Chablis I did not like it In fact i STILL don't like the stuff, thinking it only fit for mixing with pinot for making champagne. Sauvignon blanch, i'm getting to like more and more Preferring the Loire . At the end of the day? Reisling is STILL my favourite.

Learn the history, grapes and viticulture in France brought it by the Romans, you have only learned from them.

Sauv any time over char.

Great video. I agree. The Sauvignon Blanc is a more narrow taste when matching it to food. I love it with ginger.

great comparison thanks for sharing and cheers from NZ

What does it mean when it contains sulfides.

One tastes fresh, sharp and vibrant. The other tastes like used axle grease?

Guess what, they're different grapes. Might as well compare a steak to a pork chop.

In Australia and New Zealand, about 25 to 30 years ago there was cork shortage, most bottles that I’d open would break when I working as a waiter. With screw tops, there’s less chance of oxidation compared with corks. It’s not as romantic as a cork, but if you’ve got style, it can be!

It was an amazing video indeed and fascinating explanation, however i am still yet to learn what the main points of the differences between the two are?

The difference is the grape 🤔🤷🏻

May I know what wine glasses you were using in the video?

Australian Chardonnays?

Mix Distell’s Grapetiser with Chardonnay anyday!

There is a South African SB from Springfield called Life from Stone. It's the flintiest SB I have ever tasted - find it and try it. Amazing!

Yes sir, Julian.... ANOTHER wonderful video, thank you! I couldn't even talk.... until I met your videos, LOL! MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS.... I only wish that I had found you years ago! Thank you so very much for making my life easier, and much more "stylish" 🎯

Bonjour Julien ca va ? hope is well. I am usually a red wine drinker usually pinot noir. I also have a sweet pallet and prefer sweet wines . Is chardonnay a good step for white wine beginners. Thank you

For me, the biggest difference between these two is the variation within the varietal. Chardonnay varies from absolutely awful (e.g a cheap, over-oaked Californian) to the most unbelievable beverages you can think of (a top Chablis if you like it dry, or an aged Puligny-Montrachet), while Sauvignon Blanc is a very safe wine: always at least pleasant, and almost always at best very nice. The worst SB are far better than the worst Chardonnay, but the best SB are very far from the best Chardonnay.
