Radio-Coteau ‘Savoy’ Chardonnay, Anderson Valley (2021)

Situated on the rugged ridges of the true Sonoma Coast, Radio-Coteau is a celebrated pioneer of organic and biodynamic winemaking. Founded by Eric Sussman, the estate champions a fiercely low-intervention philosophy, relying on native yeast fermentations and bottling unfined and unfiltered to preserve raw terroir expression. Focusing on cool-climate Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay, their meticulously farmed, single-vineyard releases are deeply textured and electrically vibrant. Translating to "word of mouth," Radio-Coteau delivers profoundly soulful, site-specific masterpieces that capture the cool, coastal energy of California with uncompromising purity and precision.

Tucked away in the rugged hills of Mendocino County, the Anderson Valley is a fiercely independent haven for cool-climate viticulture. This narrow, coastal-influenced corridor channels freezing Pacific fog deep into the rolling redwood forests, creating an extreme diurnal shift.  This dramatic cooling effect results in one of the longest, slowest ripening seasons in California. The region is globally celebrated for producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and traditional method sparkling wines of breathtaking electric tension, vibrant aromatics, and focused minerality. Unpretentious yet profoundly serious, Anderson Valley delivers world-class, site-transparent masterpieces that capture the raw, untamed soul of the Northern California coast.
