Organizing chardonnay-specific wine tasting - looking for suggestions on itinerary!

My friends and I have begun to organize tastings among our group to learn more about wine together. I am thinking about having our next tasting be based on as broad of a spectrum of the interpretations of a single grape varietal possible, and we're pretty set on Chardonnay being that grape.

I have a good sense of the basic sections of the spectrum (buttery / rich oaked interpretations, crisp citrusy unoaked interpretations, and sparking blanc de blanc), but am now trying to get going in the right directions of what regions / subregions would show off the spectrum of chardonnay wines the best.

SO, I am putting it out into the reddit universe full of folks who know more about I than wine, for any recommendations on what 6x-8x regions / subregions (and if you desire, specific bottles) you would choose, if you wanted to show off the most broad spectrum of chardonnay possible.

Looking for single varietals / no blends.

THANKS!
