Our Wines

Chateau Davell’s current offerings include an assortment of French varietals and blends, including a Méthode Champenoise Sparkling Wine, a Mendocino Chardonnay, and two Bordeaux blends, the Premier Cru and our flagship blend, the Cuvée Impériale de Charlotte, named for our 3-year-old daughter. Several limited production library wines are also available through the Tasting Room, as well as an assortment of organic artisan cheeses pairings. Our wine labels feature works of art by winemaker/owner Eric Hays, who has a degree in fine art. The original artwork used for the labels is on display in the Tasting Room.
