2024 Sonoma-Cutrer Founders Reserve Chardonnay

The Founders Reserve Chardonnay is the tête de cuvée of each vintage and the most distinctive Chardonnay from Sonoma-Cutrer. Crafted from the winemakers’ top barrel selections, this wine reveals a richly layered profile and focused structure, showcasing exceptional depth and character.

For this vintage, The Founders Reserve Chardonnay is crafted using fruit from select blocks of The Cutrer and Les Pierres vineyards. The fruit was hand-harvested at night into shallow bins and cooled to preserve fresh flavors and natural acidity. After whole cluster pressing, the cool, golden-green free-run juice settled for a few days before fermenting in French oak barrels and aged for 13 months in the cave-like conditions of our Grand Cru cellar.
