HdV is a venture between the Hyde family of Napa Valley and the de Villaine family of Burgundy. The families, related by marriage, share long histories in French and Californian winemaking. At HdV, we have brought together our knowledge and experience for the purpose of creating single vineyard wines from cool climate sites throughout Napa Valley.
Some partnerships set expectations impossibly high. HDV is one of them.
Born from the collaboration between the legendary Hyde Family of Napa Valley and Aubert de Villaine of Burgundy — famed co-director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti — this is a Chardonnay with pedigree few wines in the world can match. The Hyde Vineyard name already graces many of California’s most celebrated Chardonnays, and with de Villaine’s Burgundian influence guiding the vision, the result is nothing short of extraordinary.
Thankfully, this wine more than lives up to the reputation behind it.
The 2023 HDV Chardonnay is a stunning expression of Napa Valley Chardonnay, delivering precision, elegance, and remarkable depth. Awarded an incredible 99 Points, this flagship bottling showcases layered citrus, stone fruit, minerality, and beautifully integrated oak with the balance and finesse that only great vineyard sites and world-class winemaking can achieve.
Unfortunately, our allocation was reduced this year, and only 24 bottles are available.
