Kistler Les Noisetiers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (2024)

Kistler Chardonnays arc produced from one proprietary. heritage California selection that brings low yields, tiny berries, great concentration of both flavor and texture, and naturally low pH with high acids. Using only one selection of Chardonnay across all vineyards is the realization of Kistler's vision in 1978 to exhibit a transparency to site in our wines.

Les Noisetiers (pronounced Lay Nwaz-tee-yay) is a study of our Sonoma Coast sites. It is focused on the lean, sandy, Goldrige soils where the Russian River and Sonoma Coast overlap which produce a distinct set of earthen, toasted hazelnut aromatics. The primary terroirs that drive Les Noisetiers are Vine Hill, Trenton Roadhouse, Dutton Ranch and Laguna Ridge.
