Wine experts, teach me about Chardonnay

I'm mostly a red wine guy, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Cabernet...

And I also fall into the "drink what you like" group and I like my reds big and fruity... I know that is looked down upon by the wine aficionados but the "fruit bomb" reds do sell very well so apparently I am not the only one drinking them.


Lets go back a few decades when I started drinking wine, I started on Riesling and Gewürztraminer... back then Chardonnay was heavily oaked so I never took a liking to it.

I have been on a few wine tastings recently and I'm always open minded, I discovered Chardonnay is no longer the oak monster it once was.

Somewhere I had a Chardonnay that was "big and buttery" (I know this is also not a favorite type of Chardonnay) there actually was a bit of a buttery aftertaste.

Can someone point me at a Chardonnay with that taste profile?

Thanks in advance!
