Côte Bonneville Chardonnay from DuBrul Vineyard is a premium wine produced by Côte Bonneville, a renowned winery in the Yakima Valley appellation of Washington State. The DuBrul Vineyard is known for its unique terroir, with steep slopes and volcanic soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and whole-cluster pressing, followed by fermentation in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced expression of Chardonnay, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a subtle hint of oak. This wine is a perfect example of the exceptional quality that can be achieved in Washington State Chardonnay.
