Chateau Montelena Chardonnay (750Ml)

A 14-decade legacy means only one thing: Chateau Montelena Winery is doing something right. Modern technology does not replace people or the art in winemaking here, but they expand the winery’s creative potential. One such bottle oozing with potential is their Chardonnay. 

On the nose, Chateau Montelena’s Chardonnay offers a refined bouquet of green apple, pear, and white peach. You also get a hint of citrus blossom and a wee bit of lemon zest. Barrel fermentation and lees contact add a creamy overlay of brioche and toasted almond. The palate is balanced and elegant, showing bright acidity that keeps the wine fresh while flavours of baked apple, pear, and a touch of lemon curd provide depth. The mid palate is silky thanks to lees stirring, and the finish is long with a mineral thread.

A historic wine indeed, Chateau Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay won the 1976 Judgment of Paris, even beating top wines at the time. This properly cemented the 1973 vintage as a globally recognized, game-changing "wine legend".How many bottles of wine can say that? 

Chateau Montelena’s Chardonnay is a wine for those who appreciate a measured, terroir-driven expression of Napa Chardonnay, where elegance and structure are as important as fruit. Get yours today.
