From the producer:

Brosseau sits at the end of a winding road that starts in the fogs of the Salinas Valley and ends in the sunbaked scrub of the Gabilan Range. Though that road, which was one step above a dirt road when we started working with the fruit in 2009 has been paved and the luxury of water and electricity are now available, Brosseau still feels like a wild place hidden from the rest of the Central Coast wine world. For a deeper look into this wonderful world please read the release newsletter or listen to the podcast with Bill Brosseau, the second-generation winemaker and farmer who is responsible for the vineyard today.

What we love about Brosseau Chardonnay is how it captures the feeling of standing in the vineyard, the warm granite and fossil filled limestone crunching beneath your feet, combining with the scent of the surrounding chaparral. It speaks of sunshine and rocks and the oils from bay and peppercorn trees that float through the air on a warm day. The 2019 is a generous vintage and this wine isn’t waiting to release its beauty. A bit like Jon Brosseau himself, the wine has a little western swagger but finds balance between its textural richness and wildness of flavor. Chalone at its finest and our favorite Brosseau to date.

An earlier generation of Californians was inspired by the great sparkling wine houses of Champagne. Producers like Schramsberg, as well as some directly affiliated with those Champagne houses like Roederer, came on the scene.

For today's generation, the inspiration is a little different. They still look to Champagne, but now it's to the Growers, and in particular to those younger growers who have focused on single vineyard/single vintage expressions.

California, of course, also has vintages and vineyards! It also has plenty of winemaking talent, and plenty of great sites for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. And so it is that we have Under the Wire, a new sparkling wine project from Morgan Twain-Peterson and his partner Chris Cottrell.

It's really hard to think of very many people better suited to this task. Morgan is an incredible winemaker. He started when he was 5 years old...seriously! And he and Chris have been turning our heads and many others with their great wines at Bedrock.
