Chandon Blanc de Blancs Reserve By the Bay Cuvee P15 Carneros Vineyard NV
MAY! How did that happen?!!
Well, anyway, we made it -- time to start popping the bubbly and we have you COVERED today (while it lasts, anyway) with CHANDON’S BdB Reserve (100% Carneros fruit, right near our little office here), wicked-low price, waiting to transmit its lively, toasty, zippity-do-dah electricity into your mouth and brain --- 90 POINTS Decanter, firing on all cylinders!!
** We literally bought every bottle the winery would sell us, but…**
This is basically a Blanc de Blancs, 92% Chardonnay, 8% Pinot Blanc, so it’s got that round, warm Chardonnay texture perked up with the Carneros cold-climate acidity and lip-licking freshness we crave….SINGING and wildly satisfying for $19!!! LOAD UP -- you’ll be drinking all summer (or, your guests will, or your kids home from school, or anyone who knows where you stash it…). Think baked apples, toasty croissants out of the oven, sweet bread dough, vanilla bean, lemon peel confit, candied lemon...tons of zippiness flying around, fresh and happy-making. Best get more than you think….while it lasts!
Chandon By The Bay Reserve Blanc de Blancs is crafted with Carneros-grown grapes (92% Chardonnay, 8% Pinot Blanc). Due to its proximity to the San Pablo Bay, the cooler Carneros climate results in an extended growing season, producing grapes with crisp acidity and a smooth, elegant mouthfeel.

About The Producer
Chandon By the Bay captures a singular expression of Domaine Chandon’s most iconic grape variety, Chardonnay, grown entirely in our Carneros Estate Vineyard – it is an ode to their mastery of Chardonnay. Chandon By the Bay is also a love declaration to the San Francisco bay area, where its proximity to cold water bays brings cool breezes and fog to certain microclimates, allowing for exceptional sparkling wine grapes.
