Small bunches of wonderfully concentrated fruit are the result, and with 2023’s growing season being one of the longest on record, those extra few weeks of hang time in an area already known for its long growing season have elevated the fruit to a rarefied level of maturity and ripeness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLot 474 was crafted by a veteran winemaker who’s been producing Chardonnay from these plots for close to twenty years.

In the cellar, their touch is equally deft – after hand harvesting, the bunches were whole cluster pressed, and the juice fermented in French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks for optimal balance. Partial malolactic fermentation adds just the right amount of texture and creaminess, followed by eight months of aging in mostly French oak (with a bit of American oak), imbuing the wine with gorgeous depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\"\u003ePouring a radiant golden hue, the nose is classic California Chardonnay – yellow apples intermingle with lemon curd, Asian pear, vanilla bean, and spice, haloed by delicate white florals, caramel, and wet stone minerality. The palate is deftly weighted and structured, revealing layers of lemon oil, fresh butter, and apples while framed by uplifted acidity and a subtle spice. The finish is long and ethereal, echoing with barrel-kissed French oak vanilla, baking spice umami, and a final wave of honeysuckle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14.2% alc\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Négoce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46592272367782,"sku":"BTL.CC24CH","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3299\/2908\/files\/CC_24CHSC2025.png?v=1755562899"},{"product_id":"lot-573-2024-napa-valley-chardonnay-750ml","title":"Lot 573 | 2024 Napa Valley Chardonnay 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eOf the ~475 wineries in Napa, only about a dozen can legitimately stake a claim at being the region’s standard bearer for Chardonnay.
