Chimney Rock Napa Valley Élevage Blanc 2023 – Tasting Notes & Description

Discover Chimney Rock Napa Valley Élevage Blanc 2023

The Chimney Rock Napa Valley Élevage Blanc 2023 is a beautifully crafted white wine from one of Napa’s most prestigious estates. Produced by Chimney Rock Winery on their Rutherford‑floor vineyards, this is a sophisticated Bordeaux-style white blend ideal for discerning wine buyers and serious collectors.

Grape Composition & Winemaking

Grapes: 66% Sauvignon Gris and 34% Sauvignon Blanc.
Vinification: The wine undergoes a diverse set of techniques — whole‑cluster pressing, fermentation in new French oak, used oak, and stainless steel barrels (in roughly equal thirds), followed by six months of “sur lie” ageing in neutral barrels.
ABV: 14.2%.

Aromas, Palate & Finish

On the nose, this vintage of Élevage Blanc opens with inviting aromas of fresh peach, white nectarine, and apricot, layered with delicate floral notes of jasmine, and a subtle hint of brioche and caramel.
The palate is generous and core‑rich: stone fruit dominates early (fig, pear), followed by a viscous mid-palate that balances richness with brightness. The finish is long, bright, and mineral-tinged, giving a crisp, refreshing yet rounded impression.

Winery	Review 1: “I bought a case of this Élevage Blanc from Corkingwines.co.uk — great transaction service and fast delivery. On tasting, the wine delighted: juicy peach and nectarine on the nose, rich but balanced in the mouth, with a crisp, mineral finish. Perfect for summer evenings.” Review 2: “This 2023 Chimney Rock is a revelation. I paired it with grilled sea bass and it worked beautifully. The texture is round, yet the acidity is enough to keep it lively. Definitely a repeat buy.” Review 3: “Excellent value for a Napa white of this quality. The sustainable credentials of the estate also matter to me. Bought six bottles — will definitely cellar a few and enjoy a few now.”
