Displays abundant passion fruit/ stone fruit aromas accented by toasty, graham cracker sur-lie qualities. The mouthfeel is creamy and full but the natural acidity of the Russian River fruit carries this velvet textured package to a long, clean finish.

- The white grape of Burgundy, and probably the most familiar name to American consumers. In Burgundy, the name of the grape generally does not appear on the label-only the place where it was grown (e.g. Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, etc.). It is also the grape of Chablis, where it's habit of early ripening puts it at risk for Spring freezes and hailstorms. It is responsive to a wide variety of wine-making techniques, and use in Champagne as well. The American style has often been to put Chardonnay...

Description: We’ve been producing our Russian River Chardonnay from the same vineyard since 1993. Located in the heart of the Russian River Valley, this East Side Road vineyard consistently delivers delicious fruit with signature qualities of this appellation: floral, mineral, lime scents with good underlying acidity. Our winemaking philosophy remains the same: less intervention is better in dealing with as fragile a variety as chardonnay. Practices such as barrel fermentation, sur-lie aging, lees...

Martin Ray summarized our winemaking method when he said: “We add nothing to our wines, nor do we take anything from them. With infinite care, we leave them alone.” Aging in French oak barrels “on the lees” develops rounder, creamier texture in the wine. Our 2007 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. It begins with aromas highlighted by fresh melon and vanilla. The wine’s superior structure and balance have a backbone of crisp apple, melon and creamy vanilla...

"Winery notes: Our 2007 Russian River Chardonnay hearkens back to 2005 in seductive body, but with more fruity intensity. Light golden in hue, poached pear, lemon custard and butterscotch are rounded out by honeydew and a touch of tropical flower on the nose. Balanced interplay between viscosity and acidity creates a wonderful texture to showcase flavors of pear, golden delicious apple, fresh apricot and lemon tart that are impressively persistent on the palate. Both energetic and voluptuous — a...

Our appellation release of chardonnay exemplifies all the verve and personality of the 2006 vintage. An opalescent pale straw hue carries an expressive nose that sings with heady aromas of white flowers, honeysuckle and citrus oil, preparing the senses for a palate creamy in texture and bursting with flavors of tropical fruit and custard. A touch of citrus refreshes on the finish.

From the Winery: Sparkling medium yellow/gold in color, this wine explodes with bright, clear tropical fruit aromas. Smokey perfumed pear and apple aromas join the party, accompanied by yeast, toast and butter scents. Full in body and generous in flavor, this wine glides softly with beautifully balanced natural acidity. Mango, pineapple, pear and apple flavors dance harmoniously on the palette in this enormously enjoyable wine. The finish; long and crisp with toasty oak and butterscotch nuances...

In 2008 was a very low yielding, yet still stylistically rich vintage for Chardonnay. Initially, there were warm constant temperatures which spurred on early bud break for Chardonnay. Unfortunately, the heaviest frost in nearly 40 years stuck on April 21 and left growers with half the crop they normally obtain! The fruit set was also off due to cold, then hot, then windy weather in May. The summer was dry and mild, with early warm, Fall weather. Fortunately, early ripening happened in late September...

Although Walter Hansel makes a number of limited single-vineyard Chardonnays, their flagship "Estate" bottling best represents the essence of their Russian River terroir. The aroma is the first clue, with its distinctive scents of lemon curd and buttered toast. The wine is fairly crisp on the palate, with loads of complex fruit flavors like peach, tangerine, and pippin apple, a bit more of that toast again, and a lingering finish of great depth and complexity. Not at all in the heavier, riper...

2006 Chasseur Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: When the cork is pulled this proves a wine of vivid contrasts, with intensity that is almost aggressive. Aromas of toasted coconut, vanilla wafer, lemon curd, roasted grain, bees wax and suggestions of tarte tatin and peach upside-down cake seem to tumble forth. It settles down quickly on the palate, revealing pretty green apple and pear fruit integrated nicely with layers of creamy vanilla, nutmeggy custard and some firming citric and mineral notes. Airing shows it less powerful than...
