Bachelder “Patte Rouge” Chardonnay – Beamsville, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
Producer's Notes:
A single-vineyard Chardonnay of tension and finesse, Patte Rouge is one of Thomas Bachelder’s most distinctive white wines, crafted with his signature focus on transparency, minerality, and cool-climate elegance. Grown on red clay and limestone soils that give the cuvée its name, this Chardonnay has both depth and precision.
The nose is refined and expressive: lemon zest, crisp apple, white peach, and subtle florals, with hints of wet stone and delicate oak. On the palate, Patte Rouge is taut, textured, and balanced—bright acidity woven through a fine, layered core of fruit with a touch of lanolin. The finish is long, saline, and quietly complex, capturing the essence of Niagara’s coolest, most mineral-driven sites.
What We Say:
A refined single-vineyard expression of Niagara Chardonnay from the historic Patte Rouge Vineyard in Four Mile Creek. The aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, lemon, and bergamot rise from the glass, with subtle floral and honeyed notes. The palate is elegant and textured, layering orchard fruit and lemon curd with vibrant acidity, subtle oak spice, and a lingering saline finish. Crafted in Thomas Bachelder’s terroir-driven, low-intervention style, the wine lets this distinctive, clay-rich site's character shine.
