Chacra, Mainque Chardonnay, 2024
Chacra, Mainque Chardonnay, 2024 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
A desert in the middle of Patagonia is one of the last places you'd expect to find thrilling Chardonnay, and yet here we are. Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, of the family behind Sassicaia, farms his Rio Negro estate organically and biodynamically, and for the whites he collaborates with none other than Burgundy's Jean-Marc Roulot. The fruit comes off sandy, mineral-rich soils full of river rocks and limestone, and the wine sees a mix of concrete, steel, and seasoned French oak with no malolactic to preserve its cut. The result splits the difference between Old World restraint and New World brightness: precise, saline, and floral, with a mineral, almost iodine-tinged finish. Cool-climate Chardonnay from a genuinely singular place.

Tasting Profile
Jean Marc Roulot was at dinner at Guillaume d’Angerville’s place with their friend Piero, the founder of Argentina's culty Chacra winery. Piero mentioned, while discussing his Patagonian terroir, his desire to try making a white cuvée in Argentina. Now, Roulot is one of the best Chardonnay growers on the planet, so he’d be a good guy to chat up about making white wines of terroir. But he doesn’t seem a likely candidate to jet off to Patagonia and start making Argentinian Chardonnay. But Piero had found a unique terroir in Patagonia and Roulot was intrigued. Intrigued enough to propose working with him, and when Roulot visited he found, in his words, a “magical place” where “nature is so strong.” This was an opportunity to do something new: work with a friend, “not trying to make a copy of Burgundy in Argentina—totally different. Trying to produce a good Chardonnay in Argentina.” And that’s what they’ve done. Piero’s magical terroir and Roulot’s Chardonnay touch come together to make an amazing, totally new white wine. The Chacra Mainque Chardonnay comes from three plots with sand over mineral soils with river rocks and limestone. Desert-like weather (hot days, cold nights) make ripe fruit with good acidity.
