As the 700-series is the only release each year, the Chiquet brothers decided to start a late disgorgement bottling on the 700-wine: after 90 months on the lees under cork, the 737 was late disgorged in November 2017. It’s based on the 2009 vintage.  From Jacquesson: “Winter was cold and dry,...

The blend is 59% Pinot Noir (from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers) and 41% Chardonnay (from Avize and Oiry). Based on the 2014 vintage. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter.

100% Chardonnay from 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The variety and quality of the different Chardonnay from Premiers and Grands Crus villages such as Cuis, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil sur Oger, Bisseuil, Tauxières and Ludes produce a beautiful vintage blanc de blancs (...

Based on the 2013 vintage. All fruit comes from 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Cote des Blancs; 20% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Meunier. Aged for a minimum of 3 years before release.    Also available in 24/375ml and 6/1.5L.

100% Grand Cru Chardonnay. The core of the cuvée is made up of three vineyards with very old vines in Cramant and Avize. The first is a parcel of 50 ares in Avize: part of which is 30 years old and part of which is more than century old, planted by the grandfather of the 81-year-old gentleman...

This is a non-vintage blanc de blancs blended from four different years and sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Oger and Cramant, where Patrick’s average vine age is an impressive average of 40 years old. The base vintage is 30-35%, reserve wines roughly equal parts of 3 prior...

The Chapelle-Chambertin grand cru vineyard faces east on a well-drained, gentle slope on the lower hillside east of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. It is said that the small Notre Dame de Bèze chapel on this site was intentionally burned in the 1830s so that the land could be planted to more vines. This...

Source: 90% Central Coast, 10% Sonoma Winemaking: 85% stainless steel, 15% barrel fermented Aging: 8 months in neutral oak barrels Alcohol: 13% Tasting Note: Medium bodied and elegant, with ripe melon and citrus flavors. A touch of minerality and lively acidity keeps this wine fresh and focused.  

Fermented in both older French oak barrels and stainless steel barrels. Blending is done after a year of ageing on the lees. The goal is to make balanced, food friendly Chardonnay, not wine subdued by oak flavor. This vintage has a distinctive briny character and calls out for seafood.

2017 was a stunning year to make white wine due to the fantastic growing season: the weather was warm, and yet the grapes held on to a bright acidity. Intentionally picked early in the growing season; whole-cluster pressed, then aged in 60% concrete, 25% stainless steel and 15% new and neutral...

The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours and transported immediately to the winery, where they were cold pressed and cold settled overnight before fermentation. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and was aged for a total of 10 months in a mix of new (40%) and one-year-...

Aged 15 months on fine lees in 100% French oak, 25% new.

Chardonnay from the benchlands of White Rock’s estate vineyard. Aged on the lees for 11 months in 100% neutral French oak, the wine underwent 10% malolactic fermentation.

From Mount Eden's website: In the late 1940s and early 1960s, Martin Ray planted six acres of Chardonnay vines propagated from a Burgundian selection grown in the original Paul Masson vineyard.  20 acres of Estate Chardonnay are now farmed at Mount Eden from which 1,200 to 2,000 cases per year are...

Notes from the Winery: Lush, immediately approachable and undeniably delicious, Luke’s Grove is often our Chardonnay ambassador for EK newbies and long timers alike. While we continue to fine-tune it in the vineyards and the cellar, it remains a quintessential Russian River Valley illustration of...

15 months in French oak, 20-25% new. 

Fermented two thirds in new and used French oak barrels, while the rest is fermented in stainless steel to maintain the bright freshness of the fruit. During its 8 month élèvage, the wine sees some bâtonnage, adding richness and texture. The result is a full-bodied but not overblown crowd-pleaser.

Fermented in barrel (30% new), full malo and aged 9-15 months in barrels.

Sourced from several parcels, totaling just under two hectares; Michel is often the first to pick in his area, preferring good acidity for freshness in the wines. The vines were planted in 1963 and 1993. This is full-bodied, with the classic Chassagne aromas of ripe yellow orchard fruit and resin.

Baudines occupies the extreme southwest corner of Chassagne-Montrachet, facing due southeast, well-exposed but sheltered at elevations ranging from 250-330 meters, among the highest in the appellation. It is bordered by forest on the hill above, the Santenay appellation to the south, and the...

Champgains is located at the crest of the slope between Chassagne and Puligny; the plot totals just under half a hectare, planted in 1988. Clay and fragmented rock soil.
