The history of Chalone is part of the modern renaissance of California viticulture. Early 20th century plantings demonstrated that the Chalone vineyards yielded exceptional wines. Some of those old vines are still producing. Chalone was one of the most sought-after California Chardonnays in the 1970 – 2000 era after being chosen by Steven Spurrier to be included in \"The Judgement of Paris\" tasting in 1976. Ownership changes obscured the distinction of the Chalone brand for several years until the purchase by the Foley Family in 2016.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCritic Tasting Note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe 2022 Chalone Vineyard Estate Grown Chardonnay is luscious and ripe but elementally refreshing. Layers of pineapple and ripe apple fruit are balanced a refreshing middle-palate lift and by hints of butter, vanilla and baking spice from its barrel age. Its combination of ripe fruit, rich texture and complexity makes a great bargain in today’s crowded Chardonnay market. 92 Wayne Belding\" - \u003ci\u003eWine Review Online\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens next\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bottle will be carefully hand-packed in our mail-safe wine boxes to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
