Our Cabernet Sauvignon grows on the valley floor below the Mayacamas range to the west on a bed of gravelly silt loam and
rocky alluvial soil. This wine is powerful and nuanced yet delicate and elegant.
At Chandon we carefully cultivate select grape varieties that express the exceptional terroirs of our estate vineyards in their
varietal expression. Home to our winery, Yountville experiences a mix of wind and fog throughout the year with plenty of sunny days.

WINEMAKING
Grapes are harvested by hand. Harvest begins in late September when optimal ripeness and flavor development have been achieved.
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are sorted and de-stemmed before they undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Fermentation on the skins lasts 15 days, and afterward the wine macerates with the skins for 2 weeks enriching its color and flavors.
The wine is pressed into French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing for 24 months imparting a more subtle spiciness into the finished wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon is bottled, and aged on the cork for a minimum of 6 months, and then is ready to enjoy!
