Bouchaine Vineyards is established in the site of the oldest continually operated winery in Carneros in the southern end of the Napa Valley. The gorgeous estate is full committed to the pursuit of enticing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, whose grapes are best suited to the climate and soils of the beautiful 100-acre estate vineyard in this Pinot/Chard oasis. Located just north of the San Pablo and San Francisco Bays, the vineyard climate is directly influenced by the fog that rolls in each night, and the shallow, clay loam soils are perfectly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Bouchaine is used to getting 90+ scores each vintage, their commitment to excellence has consistently paid dividends. If you’ve never been to this estate, I’d recommend doing so. Their hospitality, little slice of heaven and great lineup of Pinots and Chardonnays will win you over, for sure. I got the last 18 cases of Chardonnay for the vintage at a super special (lowest in the country by far), one time ‘Email Only’ price. Enjoy!

92 Points, James Suckling
Subtle aromas and flavors of peach, baked apple, hazelnut and toast. It’s full-bodied with creamy layers of stone fruit, balanced with subtle cedar and flint. Long and elegant. Drink or hold.
91 Points, Wine Spectator
Rich and fruit-filled, with well-focused apple pastry, peach, quince, and tangerine flavors that lengthen out with buttery richness mid-palate. The spicy finish features toasty notes. Drink now through 2023.

2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
