Harvest Notes
The 2020 Vintage started out promising but ended up being severely affected due to the Salinas and Carmel Valley fires that began in kid August and extended into harvest season ruining the possibility of making any still Pinot Noir wines. Fortunately we were able to make a limited amount Chardonnay, Rosé and Pet Nat.
The Cuvée Beaudry is a barrel selection of Chardonnay that is fermented and aged in 100% used French oak barrels ranging from 1-4 years of age. This Chardonnay while being aged without any new oak is in between the body and weight of our Estate Chardonnay that features 25% new French Oak and our Cuvée Beton, which is exclusively fermented and aged in 100% concrete amphora tank. This chardonnay is ready to drink now displaying ripe stone fruit and flinty mineral notes and fresh acidity.
