About the Producer

Chateau Montelena is a Napa Valley winery most famous for winning the white wine section of the historic "Judgment of Paris" wine competition. Chateau Montelena's Chardonnay was in competition with nine other wines from France and California under blind tasting. All 11 judges awarded their top scores to either the Chardonnays from Chateau Montelena or Chalone Winery, another California wine producer. A fictionalized version of Chateau Montelena's historic victory was featured in the 2008 film Bottle Shock.

Homewine より。 柑橘系よりはパッションフルーツ、パインのような香り。飲み口の滑らかさがバターと形容されるのはとてもわかる。 酸味は控えめで、ナッツ感と樽感のふくよかさと、後味のミネラル感が長い。 全体的にリッチな感じ。
