Beaulieu Vineyard was built upon founder Georges de Latour's personal vision and relentless commitment to making world-class wines from Napa Valley. More than one hundred years later, they have the advantage of owning and working with some of the best vineyards in the state.
Grapes for the BV Coastal Chardonnay come from vineyards throughout the Central Coast, Lodi and Clarksburg. The cool maritime climate of the coast imparts fresh nectarine and citrus characters. The more inland vineyards in Lodi and Clarksburg get a cool breeze from the delta winds to balance the warm days with cooler evenings. A prominent Chardonnay area, the fruit harvested here has good weight with baked apple and pear character.
