When we talk about Greek, barrel-aged Chardonnay, the first that immediately comes to mind is undoubtedly the exceptional Domaine Katsaros Chardonnay from the village of Krania on Mount Olympus! The French oak, combined with its sharp acidity, juicy fruit, and unmatched elegance, naturally make it a wine that becomes highly sought‑after every single year.
The Katsaros family has been making wines based on classic French standards since the early 1980s. Dimitris Katsaros, the winery’s founder, handed over the reins to his son, Euripides, in 2007. Since then, the estate has continued its brilliant course, with its wines earning not only distinctions but also an ever-growing fan base.
Domaine Katsaros Chardonnay is one of Greece’s most sought-after white wines, selling out just a few months after its release each year. The reason? Its balance, typicity, and finesse! The vineyards are located at an altitude of 530 - 640 meters, resulting in a wine with crisp, lemony acidity. Aging in selected French oak barrels for 5-6 months adds body, texture, and complexity. The result is a rich, buttery, and well-balanced Chardonnay with outstanding aging potential.
Domaine Katsaros Chardonnay is an incredible white wine that won’t intimidate you with its price. So, now that you have the chance, grab as many bottles as you can! Where else will you find it?
