"The steep and rugged terrain of the La Carrière vineyard produces fruit with a significant concentration of flavor and aroma. Typically, this wine offers a lean, citrus-like fruit profile of our four single vineyard Chardonnays, along with a vivid minerality that evokes nuances of sea salt and wet stones. La Carrière is named for the steep, rocky, and shallow soils at the high elevation and the vineyard’s distinctive bowl-shaped top section."
