When Super Tuscan royalty Piero Incisa della Rocchetta (grandson of Sassicaia’s founder) joined forces with Jean-Marc Roulot—whose family has farmed Chardonnay in Meursault since 1798—they redefined South American wine history. Sourced from nearly 40-year-old, biodynamically farmed vines in the remote high-desert village of Mainqué, this is the complete opposite of heavy, buttery Chardonnay. It delivers shocking purity and focus, easily rivaling top European selections while pulling 96 points from James Suckling and historic praise from Patricio Tapia’s Descorchados, South America's premier wine publication.

Mainqué is a wild, unlikely home for elite white wine, where fierce Atlantic winds sweep across limestone-covered riverbed soils. Roulot brings his exact signature approach to the site: early harvesting to protect natural acidity, blocking malolactic conversion, and aging primarily in concrete eggs and neutral French oak. Grown without a single chemical input and aged in naturally cooled underground clay cellars, these rare old vines yield a wine of immense tension, proving Patagonia can deliver world-class whites that stand toe-to-toe with Meursault.

In the glass, it opens with bright aromas of sliced green apple, honeysuckle, crushed white stones, and subtle citrus zest. The palate is weightless yet deep, featuring crisp peach skin, high-toned acidity, and a striking, savory streak of saline minerality that drives straight through the finish. Energetic, intensely refreshing, and exceptionally food-friendly, this is an absolute essential for white Burgundy purists and modern collectors alike.

¡Viva Argentina!

Critical Acclaim:

96 Points, James Suckling:

“The saltiness in this chardonnay is so impressive, with aromas of sliced apples, honey, crushed stones and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, crunchy, vivid and flavorful, with hints of peaches and grape skin.”
