White Wine Selections
Chardonnay
Anderson Valley
Richard Savoy farms one of the finest vineyards in Mendocino’s Anderson
Va
ll
ey
.
The two types of Chardonnay that he grows produce a nice balance of tropical
f
r
u
it
and minerality in these wines.

Radio-Coteau “Savoy Vineyard”, Anderson Valley 2006 95

The warm days and cool, misty evenings of the Russian River Valley
are ideal for producing Chardonnays with aromas of citrus that are
balanced by refreshing acidity.

expressions of Chardonnay being produced
today.
We have focused our list on small-production
wines from the premier Chardonnay producing
regions in California and France.

Côte de Beaune
Bernard Morey
The soon-to-be named Tulocay AVA (or
Coombsville AVA, depending on who you’re
asking) in southern Napa is an exciting up-andcoming
source for Chardonnay. We look forward
to more amazing wines like Konsgaard’s “the
Judge” being made from its volcanic soils.
Santa Rita Hills is a unique, ultra-cool region
benefitting from the cold Pacific breezes
funneled in by the Purisma and Santa Rosa
Mountain range. The cool climate produces
longer hang-time on the vines and more intense
flavors.
