A bottle of 2011 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay from Napa Valley.
The 1973 vintage of this wine secured a place in wine history when it beat stiff competition against Burgundy Grand Crus and fellow Californians to secure top spot in the late Steven Spurrier's famous 'Judgement of Paris' blind-tasting in 1976. This boosted the profile and quality perceptions of fine wines from the USA around the world.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability.
