Racines is the unprecedented collaboration between Burgundy’s Étienne de Montille, Champagne’s Rodolphe Péters, and Santa Barbara’s Justin Willett. Together, they set out to achieve something massive: crafting true Burgundy-grade wine in the Sta. Rita Hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey zeroed in on Bentrock, an iconic, wind-scoured vineyard of rocky soils perched on the freezing western edge of the appellation. To translate this extreme terroir, the team applied strict, old-world discipline: native yeast ferments, precise barrel élevage, and extended lees aging. They completely stripped away the heavy, buttery Californian tropes in favor of absolute restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 is crystalline and wildly precise. It delivers a saline, almost electric intensity that rivals serious Meursault, built to drink beautifully tonight or easily cellar for fifteen years. Because Racines is produced in microscopic quantities, acquiring it usually requires navigating a fierce allocation list. This is California Chardonnay completely rewritten by French hands, and our tiny parcel will not last.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Racines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49291193975041,"sku":"4140574","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/4140574.png?v=1782252807","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2019-racines-chardonnay-bentrock-vineyard-santa-rita-hills-california-usa-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
