Chalone
Chalone produces Chardonnay from high-elevation vineyards in Monterey County's Gavilan Mountains, creating wines with distinctive mineral character and elegant structure. Their expressions reflect the unique terroir of this cool-climate appellation.
The Chalone Chardonnay range emphasizes Burgundian winemaking techniques including native yeast fermentation and extended lees contact to develop complexity and texture. Their high-altitude vineyards produce grapes with natural acidity and concentrated flavors that translate into age-worthy wines with notes of citrus, apple, and mineral undertones. These expressions represent California's ability to produce terroir-driven Chardonnay with European sensibilities.
