The original\u003cbr\u003evines were already producing when Donn and Molly purchased the property in\u003cbr\u003ethe late 1960s. Following a replanting in 2007, we reintroduced our Chenin Blanc\u003cbr\u003eas a “Signature” designation – with a twist. While our Signature Cabernet bears\u003cbr\u003eDonn Chappellet’s name, Molly Chappellet’s signature graces our Chenin Blanc\u003cbr\u003elabel. To add depth and complexity, the 2024 Chenin Blanc was fermented in a\u003cbr\u003ecombination of neutral French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Season \u0026amp; Harvest\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 vintage began with winter rains that saturated the soils. After an early\u003cbr\u003ebudbreak in late-March and bloom on May 15th, we benefitted from a warm-to-\u003cbr\u003ehot summer, including several days above 100º F. The heat worked in our favor\u003cbr\u003eallowing us to fully ripen the crop while maintaining excellent acidity and delicate\u003cbr\u003eflavors. To manage crop size, we removed underdeveloped interior clusters, and\u003cbr\u003eleafed around the clusters for more dappled sun on the grapes. Even though our\u003cbr\u003eChenin Blanc vineyard is only three acres, we picked it in two sections so that\u003cbr\u003eeach was harvested at the peak of ripeness, yielding grapes with vibrant acidity\u003cbr\u003eand tantalizing citrus and tropical flavors.\u003cbr\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003eThis singular white wine draws you in with enticing aromas of Meyer lemon,\u003cbr\u003epineapple, nectarine and tropical flowers, with French oak-inspired hints of\u003cbr\u003enutmeg and vanilla adding nuance and complexity. On the full-flavored palate it\u003cbr\u003eis lively and bright, with toned acidity underscoring the fresh citrus and lychee\u003cbr\u003eflavors, as well as notions of candied lemon zest that linger on the long, delicious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chappellet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44182191046880,"sku":"118782","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chappellet-signature-chenin-blanc_1.jpg?v=1694635796","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chappellet-signature-chenin-blanc-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
