Important Regions for Premium Chardonnay

Name each of the most important regions in the world for growing and producing premium Chardonnay, as emphasized by the WSET L2 and L3.
Particularly broad or diverse regions have not all been included, so you may need to be more specific, if you're not seeing one that you would expect
In some cases, a larger region and one or more of its sub regions are both included. In these cases, I tried to be generous with acceptable answers.
