2021 Holloran Chardonnay Le Pavillon 1.5
This 2021 Holloran Chardonnay comes from our Le Pavillon vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The vines were planted in 1972 with the Draper selection of Chardonnay. They are own-rooted.
This vineyard is farmed organic and biodynamic. These very old vines have deep roots, providing powerful ripening of the fruit, deep flavors and a very long finish.
The block is small, about 1.5 acres. The soils are volcanic, Jory Series, a deep, ancient red silty clay loam. The elevation is 600’, with a south aspect.
Swirling reveals subtle notes of fresh citrus that grow, that expand to include tropical aromas. On the palate flavors of stone fruit emerge, with a pronounced spicy component. This leads to a very long finish, with a silky texture that persists.

2021 Holloran Chardonnay Le Pavillon Vineyard The 2021 growing season was warmer than the 20-year average. The ‘heat dome’ experienced in late June (temps over 115 for a couple days) had no significant effect as the berries had just set. We picked by hand, then hand sorted, then pressed gently, and after settling moved to French oak barrels for fermentation and aging.
