Bouchaine Vineyards

Description:

• Located on 38 acres in the Carneros appellation in southwestern Napa, these grape vines were first planted on the property in the mid 1800s. The current winery, founded in 1981, produces fewer than 20,000 cases annually, predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. About 1,000 cases of limited release wines are also produced, including a Cabernet Franc and a dessert wine. Renovated in 1995, the winery retained the historic architecture of the original buildings and still employs a traditional Burgundian method of producing Pinot Noir in open-top concrete fermenter. Several wines have won awards.
