Chardonnay, Saône-et-Loire
Chardonnay is the name of a French village located in the Saône-et-Loire Department in the Bourgogne. The name is a derivative of Cardonnacum, a Latin term to denote an area with thistles. Chardonnay and its surrounding Mâconnais region are probably the cradle of the Chardonnay type of grape.
In 1994 the vine co-operative of Chardonnay amalgamated with that of Lugny. In 1999 the village had 162 inhabitants.
