Francis Coppola, Pavilion Chardonnay

Coppola Pavilion Chardonnay stands apart from the Diamond Collection Gold Label Chardonnay because it’s sourced from a different appellation and treated to a unique oak regimen that uses a variety of toast profiles. Sourced in the Santa Lucia Highlands, a high-elevation subappellation of Monterey County, this Chardonnay reflects the distinct mineral notes that are the signature of this region. The cool climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands causes very slow ripening and extremely concentrated fruit. Barrel fermentation in French Oak lends richness and a full-bodied quality that is especially delicious paired with any seafood chicken dish or salad.
