Who owns and operates what gets more and more complicated each day in the wine business. Somehow the famous Lafite Rothschild name is actually accosiated with a seemingly small California winery Chalone. The winery Chalone is located in the AVA district Chalone. It is actually the only winery in the Chalone district.
The not so small company Chaolne Wine Group owns and operates the following wineries…
- Chalone in Monterey, California
- Acacia, in Carneros, California and
- Carmenet Vineyard in Sonoma, California
Chalone is also partners with Paragon Vineyard Co owning and operating several more vineyards in California and Washington State. And YES Chalone is a recent new partner in one of Bordeaux’s most famous fourth growth estates Lafite Rothschild. Interesting.
