What it tastes like

Ripe pear and pineapple with baked apple, a clear note of vanilla, and a soft creamy texture that finishes juicy rather than sharp.

You’ll like this if…

You like familiar, crowd-friendly California Chardonnay - think Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve or Woodbridge Chardonnay - and you want that buttery-vanilla profile without spending much.

Why buy it

Under seven dollars for a Chardonnay from a Napa Valley house with a 120-year track record. It is the kind of bottle you buy three of: one for dinner, two for the fridge.

Best for

Everyday pours, big gatherings, and anyone who wants a soft, fruit-forward white that does not need thinking about.

Style

Ripe, round, lightly oaked California Chardonnay; medium-bodied, dry but fruit-sweet in impression, easy finish.

Drinks like

Similar in spirit to other value California Chardonnays such as Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, Barefoot Chardonnay or Sutter Home Chardonnay; if you want the same profile with more concentration, step up to a Central Coast or Carneros Chardonnay.

Experience level

Beginner-friendly - approachable, low risk, and a good reference point for what people mean by 'California Chardonnay.'

About the winery · Beaulieu Vineyard ›

Beaulieu Vineyard, almost always shortened to BV, was founded in Napa Valley in 1900 and is one of California's oldest continuously operating wineries. The name comes from Fernande de Latour's reaction to the Rutherford land her husband Georges bought - she called it beau lieu, a beautiful place. Georges de Latour helped rebuild the young California wine industry by importing phylloxera-resistant rootstock from Europe, and in 1938 he recruited Andre Tchelistcheff, whose work at BV shaped modern California winemaking. The winery is still best known for its Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, especially the Georges de Latour Private Reserve, and today it is part of Treasury Wine Estates. Coastal Estates is BV's broadly sourced California line, made to put the house style within easy reach at everyday prices.
