Cobb Wines, Chardonnay Mes Filles Vineyard, 2021

Tucked into the foggy hills of Occidental just six miles from the Pacific, Mes Filles is one of Cobb’s most finely drawn vineyard sources. The 2021 vintage captures the tension and elegance that define the site: low yields, cool breezes, and sandstone soils all contributing to a Chardonnay of clarity and precision.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly neutral oak, the wine balances citrusy brightness with a savory, mineral backbone. No flashy new oak, no excess weight—just finely etched texture and a long, saline finish. It’s a wine that doesn’t rush to impress, but rewards patience with remarkable nuance.

For those who lean toward Meursault or Mount Eden, Mes Filles 2021 belongs in the same quiet conversation—Chardonnay as landscape, not style.
