Is Chardonnay a high end wine?

The price range of Chardonnay is highly diverse going from low-end to high-end. Factors regulating its placement include vineyard status, vinification techniques, and brand importance. The high-end Chardonnays are often produced from regions of prestige like Burgundy and Napa Valley in California, are fabricated with a lot of care and are oak barrel-aged for a longer time and commanded at a high price.
