Introducing, GAÏA (Guy-ah) CHANDON's exclusive premium Cabernet Sauvignon, named after the ancient Greek goddess of the Earth. This exceptional limited-production wine (only 69 cases) is a pure expression of it's remarkable terroir. 

Sourced from a single, highest-elevation block on Mt. Veeder, our 100% Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from cool temperatures that lenghten the growing season and steep slopes of ancient seabed soils, cultivates grapes that capture the vineyard's minerality and brightness, reflecting the sprit of the earth. 

Hand-harvested to preserve optimal ripeness, GAÏA undergoes a meticulous process including fermentation in stainless steel tanks with extended skin contact and 24 months of aging in French oak barrels. The result is an elegantly structured wine with earthen notes and a captivating profile.

Tasting Notes: Experience tight tobacco and earth, delicate fruit, and mineral. Key flavors include tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, cassis, mineral, cedar, and tea leaf.

We're enjoying this wine with dishes like; grilled wagyu & radicchio, roast lamb, vegetable tagine, and artisanal blue cheese.
