Just as Burgundy boasts three great Chardonnay appellations of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, & Chassagne-Montrachet, California can claim the Carneros, Sonoma Coast, & Russian River Valley appellations as uniquely suited for cool-climate Chardonnay. These are classic wines grown on cool sites with low vigor soil that show the characteristics of their region. They may also be planted to a larger-clustered clone. They receive less new oak and less time in barrel than the single-vineyard wines, but otherwise are made identically to them. All of Ramey's Chardonnays are whole-cluster pressed, fermented in Burgundian barrels with native yeast, and aged sur lies with batonnage and full malolactic fermentation. Finally, the wine is bottled without filtration.
