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.
