2019 Brosseau Vineyard Chardonnay 1.5L Magnum
Chalone Appellation
Winemaker Tasting Notes
"Medium straw hue. Engaging scents of apricot, hazelnut, brioche and peach create a great first impression to this Chardonnay. Shortly thereafter, secondary notes of banana, papaya, and grapefruit provide a lively touch. Once on the palate, all these characteristics persist in equal amounts, framed by a full, bright, and dimensional texture. This youthful and mineral-driven wine finishes nicely and will continue to please through 2029."
~ Bill Brosseau, Director of Winemaking
Price: $121.00
The Brosseau estate in the Chalone appellation is arguably the most unique vineyard source in the Testarossa line-up. Standing 1,600 feet above sea level in Monterey County’s Gabilan Mountains, you can actually see the Brosseau Vineyard’s terroir. The rocky crags and peaks of nearby Pinnacles National Monument loom over the almost moonscape-like panorama. This is the heart of the historic Chalone appellation, where you can literally taste the district’s ancient decomposed granite and limestone soils in every drop of wine. Owned by Testarossa Director of Winemaking, Bill Brosseau’s family, the property was originally planted in 1980. Brosseau manages the entire process from the dirt to the bottle and the results are stunning.
