Cuvaison

Referring to our technique of fermentation and aging in concrete eggs, our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc, Méthode Béton exudes depth and creaminess on the palette due to extended contact with the lees. Featuring lovely notes of grapefruit, kiwi, melon and passion fruit, the roundness and richness of the wine is on full display ending in a long, shimmering finish.

Made in the classic Méthode Champenoise style, the 2018 Brut Cuvée is an opulent blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The wine is crisp and youthful with notes of pear, yuzu, and lemon peel complemented by the nuttiness of shaved almond and savory brioche. On the palate, the wine is bright and refreshing, and finishes with a distinct richness derived from its extended 30-month tirage.

Our 2019 Chardonnay, Hedon is a barrel selection from 3 distinct parcels from our Los Carneros estate. This wine spent 16 months in French oak barrels aged on its lees, providing the wine with a rich and creamy accent to the vanilla and buttered brioches notes on the palate. Our 2019 Chardonnay, Hedon is a rich, full-bodied wine brimming notes of ripe, jammy apricot, peach, lemon curd and candied almonds ending in a long, sumptuous finish.

Named after its method of fermentation in concrete eggs, the second bottling of this opulent Chardonnay is a result of experimentation and curiosity. A blend of two clones, Dijon 548 and Dijon 95, the 2020 Chardonnay, Méthode Béton is beautifully perfumed with notes of orange blossom and acacia flower. On the palate, the 2020 vintage offers a rich texture from extended aging on its lees, with notes of shaved almond, white peach, and citrus for a bright, crisp finish.

Embodying the charm and diversity of our estate, our Small Lot wines are crafted to express the character and complexity of our vineyard, offering different expressions of our terroir, and each individual vintage.
