Chardonnays

The Robert Young Clone 17 Chardonnay put us on the map. We now produce three distinctive, estate-grown Alexander Valley Chardonnays, ranging from aromatic and bright style with minimal oak contact to a rich and tropical style with extended French Oak aging.

Our Alexander Valley Chardonnays

Robert Young was one of the first to plant French Dijon Chardonnay clones in Alexander Valley. After many years working with many different clones, Robert decided to create a hybrid clone, taking the Dijon Clone of France and combining it with the Wente Clone found here in California. The resulting Robert Young Clone 17 Alexander Valley Chardonnay is a distinctive clone that has many positive attributes including: lifted aromatics, rich textural body and flavor intensity. We currently make three different estate-grown Chardonnays, all with distinctive flavor profiles achieved from clonal selection, site specificity, winemaking techniques, and barrel treatment.

Clone 17 Chardonnay

Our Clone 17 Chardonnay is a tribute to our proprietary clone of Chardonnay, Clone 17, also known in the wine industry as the Robert Young Clone of Chardonnay. The small berries and clusters produce Chardonnay’s with intense flavors and aromas that are seldom matched by other clones in our viticulture area. This Clone 17 Chardonnay highlights the fruit while using steam and water bent barrels to provide a light oak supporting framework.

Alexander Valley Estate Chardonnay

Our Alexander Valley Estate Chardonnay bottling is the most popular Chardonnay we produce. The fruit for the wine is pulled from five of the best Chardonnay blocks on the ranch, giving it a broad range of rich, bold flavors. 100% French oak (typically 35% - 38% new) provides a rich, velvety palate that matches well with seafood, chicken and pork dishes.
