Viticulture
This cuvée is the result of a blend of three parcels located in the prestigious Sanford & Benedict area. Two of them, planted in the 70s and 80s, form the backbone of this wine and give it all its depth. The third parcel, a pioneer of the appellation, was planted in 1971. It adds a floral, airy touch.
Oenology
In the cellar, 2/3 of the harvest is kept in whole bunches. Vinification begins with crushing, followed by some punching down, and continues in 228-litre barrels, 30% of which are new French oak, for 19 months before bottling.
Suggestions for accompaniment
Kidney with mustard - Galantine of game - Rabbit with prunes.
Liquid geography
Domaine de Montille, an emblematic figure in Burgundy, never rests on its laurels. Etienne de Montille and Brian Sieve have embarked on a new adventure on the other side of the Atlantic, accompanied by Rodolphe Péters, famous for his Pierre Péters champagnes. They have named this adventure Racines.
Racines is the union of talents from Burgundy and Champagne to create a unique range. Looking for a place where their vision of wine could flourish, Étienne and Brian found the freshness and finesse they were looking for in the hills of California. Rodolphe Péters, who shared their ambition, joined them to add his expertise in sparkling wines.
Away from the weight of Burgundy and Champagne history, Racines allows them to innovate, taking advantage of the cool climate of Santa Rita Hills, considered one of the best terroirs for pinot noir and chardonnay. Their aim is to produce wines of a precision and quality that rival the best French crus.
The wines of Racines, while faithful to the Santa Rita terroir, reveal a new expression. The Pinot Noirs, fermented in whole bunches, are more elegant and tauter, while the Chardonnays, grown in marine soils close to the ocean, reveal unequalled energy and precision.
