Mount Veeder AVA
Auction 15 | Lot No. 64
Vintage: 2009
Domaine Chandon
Cabernet Sauvignon
Mount Veeder
10 cases produced
Description
Best known as a sparkling house, Domaine
Chandon also crafts three fine still wines—
Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay—
that often garner high accolades. In addition
to the largest land holding in Carneros, the
winery also owns vineyards in Mount Veeder
and Yountville. A small portion of the warmer
two AVAs is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon
because the grape is well suited to those
regions. With this lot, we demonstrate our
ability to craft food-friendly still wines with
the first-ever Cabernet Sauvignon under the
Domaine Chandon label.

Joel Burt
Winemaker, Domaine Chandon
Joel was born and raised in California’s Central Valley into a family of organic table grape farmers. He spent his summers working in the family vineyards in the hot Central Valley and in Arizona. Upon graduation from high school, he worked as a line cook and sous chef while taking classes at the local college. As he became skilled in food preparation, he slowly became obsessed with wine. After a crush and a brief stint as a wine buyer, he enrolled in Fresno State’s enology program. Following graduation, he came to work in the Napa Valley and worked for several wineries before coming to Domaine Chandon.
Country born: United States
Education: Joel has a BS degree in enology from CSU Fresno, he also has a Permaculture Designers Certificate and has nearly completed the WSET Diploma.
