Why we chose it“The Montelena Chardonnay also won Paris in 1976 — the wine that changed the world’s view of California. Still extraordinary: rich, mineral, perfectly balanced. An occasion bottle.”

About this wine
Chateau Montelena Chardonnay 2022 is more than just a fine wine — it's a piece of history. In 1976, this very Chardonnay stunned the world at the Judgement of Paris, triumphing over the best of Burgundy in a blind tasting that forever redefined global perceptions of American wine. Its victory put Napa Valley on the map and remains a defining moment in modern winemaking.
Today, the wine continues to embody that same spirit of elegance and precision. Aromas of green apple, ripe pear, and citrus blossom lead into a palate of creamy texture and balanced acidity, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is long, mineral, and beautifully poised. Crafted with meticulous care and respect for terroir, this legendary Chardonnay stands as a timeless symbol of Napa's excellence and quiet confidence.
