Clos LaChance
Clos LaChance produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region defined by maritime influence and diverse terroirs. The winery's portfolio centers on two flagship expressions: Estate Vineyard Joli Meritage Red, a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, and Estate Vineyard Hadley's Cuvée White, a white blend combining Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. Both wines have earned 90-point ratings from prestige critics Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. The winery also produces Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, a single-varietal expression of the region's signature grape, similarly rated at 90 points. These wines reflect the Central Coast's capacity for structured reds and balanced whites, where cool coastal breezes moderate ripening and preserve acidity across both red and white varieties.
