Crafted from a single block planted with Dijon clones 76, 95, and 96, the flavor profile and structure of our Estate Chardonnay is consistently elegant across vintages. For more than 35 years, the Langes have been crafting incredible examples of Dundee Hills chardonnay, giving this Burgundian varietal the same platform and presence as our pinot noirs.

“A gorgeous example of what the Willamette Valley can do with Chardonnay, the Estate bottling from Lange is a classic, from a single block planted with Dijon clones 76, 95, and 96. The Langes have produced Chardonnay in Oregon for 35 years. Complexly aromatic with notes of petrichor, nutmeg, smoky minerality and honeyed fruits. The palate offers ample depth of fruit with a spine of savoury spiciness. Grilled lemon peel and sea salt come together beautifully, complemented by notes of lemon curd, crushed granite minerality, and a spicy cardamom depth to the finish. Drinking Window 2024-2034.“ -Clive Pursehouse

Visions of Damson plums dance in my head, with accompanying aromas of butter, sage and cool earth. Yellow apple and lemon butter flavors do a slow dance with a nice bit of zesty lime tree honey. The wine's rich texture is complemented by crisp acidity. Enjoy this wine on a back porch with any Utah Phillips album. — Michael Alberty

"A totally stunning wine, the 2022 ‘Estate’ Chardonnay is a dense and delicious bottling that is already showing beautifully. Once on the nose this shows off lime zest alongside diatomaceous earth, white rose, toasted walnut and suggestions of pie crust. The soft texture entices, as this shows beautiful length and underlying verve. You’re going to love how this is already evolved. Drink 2023-2037."

“The 2022 Chardonnay Estate comes from three blocks and is bright yellow/green in color. Aged 25% in concrete and the rest barrel-aged, it offers a really lovely flinty reduction, with notes of fresh apples, lime, jasmine, and wet stone. Medium to full-bodied, it has a silky texture and a clean finish. This lovely wine will only improve with another year or more in the cellar. Drink 2025-2035.”—Audrey Frick
