Description:
Burgess Triere Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown in the southern part of the Napa Valley at the Burgess estate vineyard. The influence of San Pablo Bay provides a perfect environment for the Chardonnay to reach optimum maturity with classic varietal flavors. This wine shows a high level of mature fruit along with the toasty tones of its French Vosges oak barrel aging. It has classic components, which complement food and with layers of complexity provide a long-lasting finish.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
