The Makings of an Exceptional Wine 


To encapsulate the spirit of Chandon, the winemakers chose grapes from across our three estate vineyards: the bay in Los Carneros, the rocky slopes of Mt. Veeder, and the warm valley floor of Yountville. In early 2019, Dawnine, Wayne, Tom, and Pauline blended 69% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir, and 10% Meunier from the 2018 harvest. The wine aged sur lees for three and a half years until this past October when they reunited to finish the wine with a custom dosage.

Never rush a good thing.
