Nestled at the foothills of Les Alpilles the story of Domaine Milan started in 1955

but it is also excellent with aged or blue cheeses

The nose is bursting full of tropical fruit aromas with ripe peach and some sweet spices

2019 | Chateau Montelena The Montelena Estate | Napa Valley Terra Gaie Pure chardonnayThe flagship wine of Chateau Montelena sourced from the winery's estate vineyard adjacent to the chateau near the base of Mount St Helena. Compact and restrained at first; give it some air and good things will come. Bright red toned fruits and dried wild herb notes are tethered to rich cedar spices. Well endowed with impressive depth and concentration, particularly evident in the mid palate which is weighted by crushed stones and earthen minerality.
