Chateau Montelena
Napa Valley Chardonnay
Napa Valley, California, USA
An icon, and a superb accompaniment to Shrimp Creole. Chablis-like in style with Meyer lemon, tangerine oil, rocks, and a racy spine of acidity. #chrispine

Ok, so I thought the '11 was my favorite, but the '13 just knocked it off. Damn! The pure beauty of Chardonnay.

Easy to see why these guys were chosen to be judged alongside French burgundy benchmarks.

Tasting notes from a Judgement of Paris anniversary event at Cadillac Wines tonight...
Tart, green apple, and great acidity. Very little butter, which was a refreshing take on a chard. Same recipe has been used to make this wine since the beginning. Great history.
