Millerandage is a viticultural phenonenon whereby the berries of a cluster of grapes differ greatly in size. Certain grape cultivars that exhibit this "hens and chicks" effect have improved quality due to the reduced overall berry size and seedless berries. The mother vines for this proprietary Chardonnay block were carefully curated over a 15-year period by our cousin Towle with the express goal of accentuating the millerandge effect and creating a truly unique and spectacular wine.
