Fifty years ago today, the "Judgment of Paris" changed the course of wine history forever. Among the few chosen to represent the potential of American winemaking was our 1974 Chalone Vineyard Chardonnay.

When the dust settled and the French judges turned in their ballots, the message was clear: Chalone had secured a historic 3rd place finish, outranking some of France’s most prestigious wines and proving that California didn’t just belong on the world stage - it was setting the standard.

Today, we raise a glass to the pioneers, the risk-takers, and the rugged limestone soils that proved greatness knows no borders.

Cheers to 50 years of excellence. 🍷✨

Happy National Chardonnay Day! While the world toasts to this iconic varietal today, we’re raising a glass to the wine that took the podium in Paris 50 years ago.

Our historic 3rd place win in the 1976 Judgment of Paris wasn’t just a win for Chalone; it was a win for the rugged, high-altitude limestone soils of Monterey County. 🏔️

Want to taste what the judges were talking about? Our 2024 Estate Chardonnay (Anniversary Edition) is officially pouring at our Carmel Plaza tasting room. With notes of lemon cookie, mango, and crème brûlée, it’s a 95-point tribute to our 1974 champion.

Stop by for a pour and see why the legend lives on.

Spring's perfect pairing: your patio, backyard or living room becomes the perfect place to sip, swirl, and stay awhile—with Chalone in hand.

This Earth Day, we're reflecting on the philosophy that has guided Chalone from the very beginning.

Great wine starts with great stewardship. Every decision we make in the vineyard - from how we manage water across our remote, rugged terrain, to the cover crops we plant to support beneficial insects, to the extensive hand labor required on our hillside vines - is rooted in a deep respect for this land and what it naturally gives us.

We follow the Burgundian principle that the finest vineyards regulate themselves. Our limestone soils, unique microclimate, and low-vigor vines do much of the work; our role is simply to listen, tend, and get out of the way.

Happy Earth Day from all of us at Chalone. 🌎

We are proud to share that Tasting Panel awarded our 2024 Estate Chardonnay, Judgment of Paris 50th Anniversary Edition, 95 points.

In their words: "Its billowy mouthfeel offers a creamy base. Crème brûlée, banana, mango, and lemon cookie batter make a rich statement. A fine line of acidity reins in the weight, creating an elegant and pure tasting white wine."

This wine carries a legacy that began in 1976, when our Estate Chardonnay stood among the top three at the historic Judgment of Paris and helped put California wine on the world map.
