2022 La Rocaille Chardonnay

“La Rocaille” was acquired by Domaine Carneros in 1992, just a few years after the Chateau was constructed. Located on the eastern side of the Carneros appellation it is only 30 acres, our smallest vineyard, and planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The site has proven to be a winner with the grapes forming a consistent foundation to our two flagship wines, Le Rêve, and Famous Gate. At only 140 cases this release is small, just like the vineyard, but offers the highest expression of our Carneros terroir in a new format.

Tasting Notes

Delicate aromas of honeysuckle, pear, and struck match leap from the glass. Broad-shouldered and finely detailed with a touch of seamlessly integrated oak, the palate offers lemon pith, river rock, and a hint of salty ocean breeze, finishing long on a lifting acidity.

Food Pairings

Dishes that provide a creamy and bright counterpoint are an ideal match for this Chardonnay - risotto brightened with fresh herbs, or grilled oysters with a squeeze of lemon. Our winemaker TJ enjoys pairing this wine with seafood paella.
