French Chard does not use oak barrels and they purposely avoid the oak. In the states, the oak makes all the difference. I beg to differ. The French wines are aged in oak barrels. The difference is the barrel. French oak barrels give the wines a more subtle oak note and let the other flavors develop as the American oak barrels bring the oak flavors forward. There is probably more American Chardonnay made in stainless tanks with oak chips thrown in the tank than anywhere else in the world.
