Not exactly my thing but others liked it. (388 views) | | | Tasted by joet626 on 9/3/2016 & rated 87 points: Probably a very nice bottle for those that like the oaky, caramelly flavors but I am no longer a fan of this style of chardonnay. Not my cup of tea! (1571 views) | | | Tasted by patwjr on 6/11/2014 & rated 89 points: Popped & poured. Smokey is the dominant taste, unlike last bottle. Minerals in there too. Wish I drank with NW clam chowder with bacon. (3134 views) | | | Tasted by danscellar on 6/7/2014 & rated 90 points: a nice chard that balences oak, butter and fruit. Some very nice vanila tones as well as what St. Jean would call "Creme Bruele". I like it and it is drinking well. (2938 views) | | | Tasted by Oakjeff on 5/6/2014 & rated 89 points: Same comments as previous btl. (3055 views) | | | Tasted by danscellar on 1/25/2014 & rated 90 points: A very chard, well balanced as usual (2914 views) | | | Tasted by danscellar on 10/1/2013 & rated 90 points: A very nice well balanced chard, good oak with some butter but certainly not a oily butter bomb. (2140 views) | | | Tasted by patwjr on 8/18/2013 & rated 91 points: Nice easy balance of fruit, some minerals, a little butter and oak. (992 views) | | | Tasted by Janstan on 8/1/2013 & rated 89 points: Buttery, apple. Not as vibrant as 2002. Had with a cold salad of sockeye salmon, scallops, shrimp field greens, beets and boiled egg with balsamic vinaigrette (984 views) | | | Tasted by Mgrissum on 7/8/2013 & rated 92 points: Smooth and buttery, but not too oaky (1050 views) | | | Tasted by jjtim on 7/3/2013 & rated 91 points: Excellent crisp acidity, with a smooth creaminess. Not a butter bomb at all, in fact brilliantly crafted with hints of vanilla, lanolin oil, lemon curd, green apple, and custard. (830 views) | | | Tasted by Oakjeff on 4/9/2013 & rated 89 points: Light, crisp & clean. Not much depth. Expected more. (962 views) | | | Tasted by Portland Pinot Pigs on 4/5/2013 & rated 93 points: Simply delicious, a very elegant chardonnay with just the right amount of oak. Love the honey undertones on the long, lingering finish. We paid too much for it, but damn it is good. (756 views) | | | Tasted by Chardallas129 on 12/4/2012 & rated 95 points: Nice dry smooth and buttery creamy!! I am not sure its worth more than $30 though. I tried it on sale for 28.99 and I think its worth it. (1188 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| Chateau St. Jean Producer website
Founded in 1973, Chateau St Jean has long been recognized as a leader in Sonoma County Vineyard Designated wines. Winemaker Margo Van Staaveren uses her more than 35 years of vineyard and winemaking expertise with Chateau St Jean to highlight the best of each vineyard in every wine. Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeReserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
