“The estate that changed the wine world at the Judgment of Paris”
Chateau Montelena earned its place in wine history when its 1973 Chardonnay won the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris, beating top French white Burgundies in a blind tasting that changed the wine world forever. The stone castle estate, built in 1882, sits at the base of Mount Saint Helena surrounded by Jade Lake and a serene Chinese garden. Today the winery is celebrated for powerful Cabernet Sauvignons and the estate Chardonnay that continues the legacy of that historic victory.
