Additional Information
Brosseau was planted in 1978, when there were no roads to facilitate the arduous journey to the top of this high plateau. Sitting at 1600’ elevation, the vineyard is subject to cool, foggy mornings with warm afternoons and very cold diurnal shifts. The terrain and soils are remarkably complex and varied, and really more a collection of 6-7 unique sites than a single vineyard in the truest sense.
Our section comes from the swales on the property, which is essentially a micro-valley. Owing to Chalone's unique elevation, the morning fog collects in these sections and burns off later than the surrounding "hilltops", extending the ripening time while lowering the alcohol and keeping the wines fresh.
Seabold Cellars focuses on cool-climate organic and sustainable vineyards to produce balanced wines that showcase their origin more than their winemaking. During the year, more time is spent in vineyards than the winery. Our winemaking is as hands-off as possible, respecting traditional techniques and practices without being beholden to them. We produce non-interventionist, site-specific Burgundy and Rhône varieties, as seen through a California lens.
