Chacra’s “Cincuenta y Cinco” comes from 1955-planted Pinot Noir vines in Patagonia’s Río Negro Valley. Founded by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, Chacra is dedicated to site transparency.

Biodynamically farmed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in concrete and neutral oak, it’s a pure, elegant Pinot that channels old vines and cool Patagonian winds.

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.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The 2024 Cincuenta y Cinco was sourced from vines planted in 1955 on sand-dominated soils with silt and a small amount of clay content. It offers a hauntingly multidimensional expression of the Chacra project with a weightless allure than sets it apart within an impressive roster of wines. It opens with a detailed, blue-fruited nose radiating violet and rose petal aromas with an undercurrent of turned earth. The palate deftly balances a sleek, suave profile with nimble energy and palpable grace, effortlessly transitioning into a long, nuanced, ethereal finish whose complexity and dimension dramatically juxtaposes its slender frame. While I feel the Treinta y Dos bottling offers a slightly more complete expression of the Chacra project, this is a spectacular example of Patagonian Pinot Noir and one to measure others against." -Matthew Luczy

"From vines planted in 1955 on riverbed pebbles, this is perhaps the most seductive of the Chacra Pinots. Alluring aromas of cardamom, bay leaves and Indian spices weave through ripe red cherries and iris. A smoky minerality underlines its salty, sanguine finish, with the sensation of great breadth, which is all quite surprising considering the 2024 weighs in at only 11% alcohol." -Amanda Barnes
