Chardonnay

Vine Cliff 1871 Chardonnay looks to the far reaches of the Sonoma Coast where the Pacific Ocean meets dramatic, golden-hued seaside cliffs. Between historic dairy ranches and ancient coastal redwood forests, a single parcel of Montrachet Chardonnay produces a wine of elegance, finesse and bracing minerality. This classically crafted Chardonnay serves as the ideal complement to the Grands Crus grown on our Oakville estate.
