Returns Simplified.The Mountain Cuve is Chappellets signature Napa Valley red blend, crafted to deliver immediate appeal with serious structure. The 2023 vintage is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, all sourced from rugged hillside vineyards that benefit from well-drained volcanic soils and elevated exposures. These conditions yield fruit of deep concentration and natural freshness.
Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel to preserve varietal clarity, followed by aging in French oak barrels (with a modest percentage of new oak) to impart finesse and complexity. The result is a wine that deftly marries richness and restraintconcentrated yet agile, structured yet smooth. Youll find layers of ripe black fruit, plum, espresso, and sweet tobacco, with hints of vanilla and crushed herbs.
This cuve shines with grilled meats, slow-roasted short ribs, aged cheddar, or mushroom risotto. While crafted for early enjoyment, it also has the integrity to age gracefully over the next 57 years.
Chappellet Winery, located on the dramatic slopes of Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley, has been a benchmark for mountain viticulture since its founding in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet. Today, the second generation continues the family’s vision, combining tradition with sustainability and innovation.
The Mountain Cuve exemplifies Chappellets dedication to quality and their mastery of hillside farming. All vineyards are sustainably farmed, and many are certified organic. While Chappellets estate Cabernet Sauvignons remain iconic, wines like the Mountain Cuve reflect a broader commitmentto crafting expressive, elegant blends that showcase the potential of mountain-grown fruit in Napa.
