Estate Pinot Blanc

Monterey

This wine comes from a small benchland vineyard on the Chalone estate approximately 1,800 feet in elevation, near the Pinnacles National Park within Monterey County. Vines grow on sparse, reddish soil underlain by limestone that ribbons through the property. Thus each bottle is filled with the essence of the soil – the French gout de terrior – which gives the wine a fullness of bouquet and flavor unique to this vineyard site.

    Fact Sheet

    The 2023 Chalone Pinot Blanc was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures until dryness, resulting in a fresh, medium-bodied wine. This wine opens with an enticing bouquet of nectarine, honey, honeysuckle, jasmine, and citrus with a touch of yuzu and quince. The palate delivers a luscious mid-palate with crisp acidity and a hint of minerality

The thin, limestone-rich soils of Chalone Vineyard produce low yields of grapes bursting with rich, intense flavors and impeccable balance. We source our Pinot Blanc grapes from 12-acres on our Puesta Vineyard site that we planted in 1991 using budwood taken from a spectacular 1946 planting on our estate.
