What reviewers say
“On International Chardonnay Day, Chardonnay from the Spanish region of Navarre at the foot of the Pyrenees, a privileged area for growing grapes. The wine is light golden in color. The wine has a pleasant and refined fruity aroma with dominant tones of pear, apple and white peach. It has a fresh, bright, refined, delicate and rounded taste with lively acidity that goes well with concentrated fruit tones. The finish is long, dry, mineral. It goes well with seafood, sushi, salads or pasta.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Castillo de Monjardin Chardonnay is a white from Navarra, Spain.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 277 Spanish whites. 118 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 118 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Castillo de Monjardin Chardonnay lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Spanje (277 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 118.
