Winemaker Notes

Few names are synonymous with California Chardonnay the way Kistler is. This winery raised the bar in Sonoma to heights not seen before and continues their legacy uninterrupted. The Les Noisetiers is a combination of their Sonoma Coast sites (Vine Hill Vineyard, Dutton Ranch, and Trenton Roadhouse) and emphasizes the area’s sandy Goldridge soils. The vinification draws on techniques used in Burgundy. The result is a luxurious and complex bottle that possesses a minerality which is rare in New World Chardonnay.
