Racines is where Burgundy finesse meets Champagne precision, all expressed through the cool-climate purity of Sta. Rita Hills. Led by Etienne de Montille, Brian Sieve, and Rodolphe Péters, this collaboration blends French tradition with Californian terroir. Their Pinot Noir bursts with high-toned red fruit, bright acidity, and a mineral backbone, while the Chardonnay offers lifted aromatics and elegant structure. A true transatlantic masterpiece, these wines honor the land and transcend borders—crafted for those seeking balance, transparency, and sophistication.
