40 years and still running strong, the Chateau Montelena Chardonnay began its history with the 1972 vintage and gained worldwide recognition when the 1973 offering bested a group of highly acclaimed Burgundies in a major 1976 blind tasting. Over the years the winery has kept up its focus and consistently produced fine efforts.
