Rudd - Bacigalupi Chardonnay 2006

Bacigalupi is one of the most famous vineyards in the world because this is where the winner of the Paris Tasting 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay was sourced. And these old vines are still doing their thing; producing small, concentrated clusters that Leslie Rudd's team turns into magnificent Chardonnay. As with most of the great old vineyards, precious little wine exists. If you love great California Chards, act now.
